Height and diameter at breast height, and survival were examined in plantations established at Southern part of Turkey by pure and two mixed stands of Taurus cedar (Cedrus libani) and Brutian pine (Pinus brutia) at 15 years to contribute future forest establishment including afforestation. Averages of growth performances of pure plantations were higher than that of mixed. Tree height was the highest in pure plantation of Taurus cedar as 582.3 cm, while it was the highest for diameter at base in in pure plantation of Brutian pine as 23.3 cm. Besides, Brutian pine showed higher growth performances than Taurus cedar in both mixed stand. Survivals were 75% and 74% for mix stands, while they were 53% (Brutian pine) and 93% (Taurus cedar) for pure stands. Results of analysis of variance showed also significant differences (p<0.05) among sampled plantations of the stand type for the height and diameter. Positive and significant (p<0.05, r>0.5) relations between height and diameter at base were found in the stand types based on results of correlation analysis.
