Turkish forests cover about 21.7 million ha, of which about 11.6 million ha (%53.3) are considered to be productive forests [1]. Brutian pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) has the largest natural distribution in Turkish forestry by 5.8 million ha of which 45.2% to be unproductive. The natural range of the species is low and mid altitude of Mediterranean countries such as Greeks, Cyprus, Turkey, Georgia, Iran, Russia and Ukraine. Outside of the natural range it has been used for afforestation in countries of western and central areas of the Mediterranean Sea, Australia, Pakistan and Tajikistan [2] because of its adaptability to dry or unirrigated areas.
