Testing of lime tree (Tilia cordata Miller) clones

Previous experiences with breeding of lime tree (Tilia cordata Miller) in European countries are shown in this paper. The first results were obtained from the evaluation of juvenile planting of lime tree ( Tilia cordata Miller) in the Czech Republic, founded in the School Forest Enterprise Kostelec nad Cernými lesy. Lime tree clones (initially cultivated in vitro) were evaluated for growth parameters and also according to the growth form of the different clones. Individual clones were also checked for mortality.
