The paper presents the growth characteristics of one-year-old seedlings of three autochthonous oak species(Fagaceae family): Turkey oak(Quercus cerrisL.), Hungarian oak(Quercus frainettoTen.)and downy oak(Quercus pubescens Willd.)in suboptimal growing conditions. The analyzed oak species are widely distributed in Serbia. One of the most important benefits of oak species is wood production (Hungarian and Turkey oak), and they have a promising role for the use in the future regarding the climate change as all species can be encountered ondry sites. Acorns were collected in the autumn of 2017 in natural stands and a sample of 400 acorns per each oak species was immediately sown in a nursery seedbedin the form of a random block system with four replicates.At the end of 2018, the available sample of seedlings was analyzed morphometrically. The seedlings were classified according to the number of shoot growth flushes into one-flush...-growth and multi-flush growth seedlings.Turkey Oakhad the highest number of seedlings which also recorded higher values in total height, root collar diameter and number of leaves.These results were obtained on alkaline soil with the presence of weeds and rodents and the absence of irrigating.The presence of multi-flush growth was recorded in all three oak species.Differences between analyzed three oak species exist in these suboptimal conditions. However, in full light conditions, a similar growth pattern was recorded, indicating to the similar adaptability of the species.
