Wild cherry (Prunus avium L.) is one of the most important forest tree species from the productive and ecological view point both in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in several European countries. Despite its significance it is not adequately treated in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is an attempt to examine some statistical figures about its buds, flowers and seeds in order to determine their relationships. The paper analyzes the relations between: the length and the width of flower buds, the length and the width of the flower and the number of flowers in a blossom, the length and the width of the seeds, and their relation to some derived ratio variables. The obtained results provide possibilities to estimate abundance of blossoming and the sizes of seeds that could be used to estimate the size of fruit. In that manner we can influence the quality of wild cherry stands established in artificial way and this can be used for selection connected with fruit quality.
The examined variables indicate wide individual intra population variability that is one of characteristics of all forest tree species in the central Dinarides. (Dinaric Alps)
The closest relationship is observed in the length and the width of the seed while other correlations are influenced with some highly non-acceptable factors.
In wild cherry populations there is a considerable participation of trees produced by spontaneous hybridization with a sort of domestic cherry. Thus, there are trees of F1, F2, F3 and other generations in the populations that influence the estimates for some variables.
The obtained results could be used as a ground for overall estimate of variability and contribute in both silviculture treatments and in the seedling stands establishment.
The obtained correlation could be used for both blossom estimation and the estimation of the seedling sizes based on the buds size in the next vegetation period.
The applied method provides good morphological structure of the population and recommends the necessary measures in the maintenance of the genetic resource in the examined populations.
