ABSTRACT

This study constituted an attempt to assess the influence of the reduction of the assimilation apparatus caused by the reduction of the length of live tree crowns following the pruning treatment of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) on the length of tracheids of early and late wood developed after the treatment. The authors analysed changes in the length of wood tracheids in years following the pruning treatment in relation to the extent of the crown reduction.

Key words: pruning, length of tracheids, early wood, late wood.
