In recent years, the increase in demand for wood and wood products in the world has brought industrial plantation applications to the forefront. With the industrial plantation application, it is aimed to obtain the highest amount of wood product from the unit area in a short time. Fast growing tree species and saplings obtained as a result of genetic breeding work contribute to the realization of this purpose. This study, which was carried out to contribute to industrial plantation and rejuvenation studies, was carried out with 324 individuals (90 natural and 234 artificial) aged between 1 and 11 years. In the study, the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the growth characteristics of seedlings planted in industrial plantation areas and seedlings obtained naturally from seed. As a result of the analysis, there is a significant difference (P < 0.05) in each of the EP1, EP2 and EP3 areas in terms of height and age values of individuals according to the regeneration method. There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) in the bottom diameter values of the individuals in EP1, EP2, EP3 and EP4 areas. In terms of growth characteristics according to the regeneration method, it was determined that the growth characteristics of the individuals obtained by planting were higher than the growth characteristics of the individuals obtained by seed.
