Sessile oak

Quercus petraea

Deep-rooted, drought-tolerant – important for climate-stable mixes on poorer sites.

Wild cherry

Prunus avium

Light-demanding species with high ecological value and sought-after veneer wood.

Hornbeam

Carpinus betulus

Shade-tolerant, stabilizes stand structure – valuable in mixed forests.
