The article analyzes the growth of 22 to 40 years old Turkish hazelnut trees by height and diameter on five sites. In all cases, the hazelnut trees considerably exceeded the oaks by diameter and were slightly behind by the height. The Turkish hazelnut stands had a good selection structure and condition. An integrated approach to assessing the selection value of stands was used. Three of the five observed stands were found to be perspective by a combination of characteristics, i. e. suitable for the forest planting, protective stands creation, and landscaping.
