For Anatolian black pine, monthly replicated experiments during five months betvveen November and March \vere designed to determine the vvater potential parameters in sampling seedlings , root regeneration potential and stress resistance value in seedlings planted in greenhouse, and bud-break ratio,survival and height increament at the end of the fîrst vegetation period in the field. According to the results, it vvas shovvn that parameters about vvater potential, root regeneration potential and stress resistance vvere changed periodically. Those periodic changes had strong relationships vvith the rate of bud-break, survival and height increament successes vvhich vvere determined for each months. As a synthese of these results, late autumn and vvinter termination - early spring vvere suggested as lifting-planting period for bareroot Anatolian black pine seedlings.
