Abstract

Black locust is one of the most common hard broadleaved tree species in Hungary. The popularity of this tree, which has been growing in Hungary for more than 300 years, is due to its rapid growth, hard, durable wood, good nectar production, and its high plasticity to different soils. Nevertheless, it is a well-known fact that the occurrence of low stem quality (crookedness of the stem) is very common in black locust stands, which significantly affects the workability and the value of the wood, resulting in low industrial wood yield. In order to improve the stem quality as well as increase the yield, large-scale research work was started in the 1960s at the Hungarian Forestry Research Institute. As a result of this project (selection breeding) we have many black locust cultivars, nowadays. One of them is the ‘Nyírségi’ black locust, which is found in several variety comparison trials. There is no scientific work, that summarize the decades-long results of this cultivar. This study may contribute to the improvement of growing technology of selected black locust cultivars as a stopgap publication.

Keywords: selected black locust cultivars, stand structure, growing technology
