projecting the tending measures, as well in the case of establishing the cultures with secondary tree species.
The absence of tending measures in the researched culture, due to mentioned conservation approach and the lack of knowledge about growth characteristics of this rare species in Serbia contributed to the decrease of the species perspective and sustainability. From the total number of trees per hectare at the age of 75 years, 34% trees were registered in the understory and 80% of the trees had significantly reduced crowns (Bobinac et al., 2008). In the period of 75-85 years of the stand age, at the butt of the trees, the wood decaying fungi carpophores were registered and the windbreakages are present as well (Figure 4).
Because of the absence of the tending measures in this unique culture of G. dioicus in Serbia, the knowledge about characteristics of growth of trees in ’’optimal’’ growing space conditions has been denied. Having in mind all the restrictions that limited the generalization of the conclusions based on this small sample in the stand, it can still be concluded that the dominant trees with well developed crown are representing the achieved phenotype that is interesting for the production of technical assortments (Figure 5).
Besides the decorative role and resilience to disease and pests (Carter, 1966); with poisonous leaves that made it generally resistant to herbivores (Janzen, 1976); with relative resistance to damage caused by ice and wind (Carter, 1966) and limited ability for subsponatneous expansion (Bobinac et al., 2017; 2018), G. dioicus has a range of positive characteristics that are pointing to the possibility of a wider use of this species in forestry.
