The present study was carried out in 16rd year afforestation sampled from southern Turkey of Taurus cedar (Cedrus libani A. Rich) and Crimean juniper (Juniperus excelsa Bieb.). Variation, competition and correlation were examined based on seedling height and stem diameter at base data collected from two samples areas 500 m2 each. Growth performances were different at the areas for the species, while averages of Taurus cedar (223.6 for height and 65.3 mm for stem diameter at base) had higher than Crimean juniper (106 cm and 58.5 mm) in total areas. The results emphasized importance of species selection in afforestation. Significant (p<0.05) differences between areas and species were found according to results of analysis of variance. Positive and significant phenotypic correlation (p<0.05, r>0.52) was estimated between the characteristics in both species and areas. It could be used for tending in afforestation areas.
