Description
The Bosnian Pine (Pinus heldreichii) is a coniferous tree. It is a species of extremely great longevity.
Use
The Bosnian Pine is particularly suitable for forestation in the regions of the forest upper boundary for the purpose of its artificial extension. It is also a suitable species for the creation of forest crops for protection against avalanches.
Storage
Its seeds are dry with moderately deep dormancy, which is compensated by stratification (cold) or sowing in physiological maturity. Germination is 65-85%.
The storage of seeds is up to 3 years at a temperature of 2 to 4°С in hermetically sealed containers.
