The article deals with the horology of wild cherry, its ecological needs, silvicultural characteristics and properties of wood. More particulary are given the results of investigation about stands structure in which the wild cherry has an important share. Height and diameter growth are dealt in detail. Wild cherry is a fast growing tree species on good sites. If it grows with released crown it can reach a diameter up to 50 cm at the age of 35 to 50 years. At the age of 45 to 50 years the stems are usually attacked by rottenness, therefore the management with wild cherry requires short rotations. The production of wood of the best quality needs the pruning in the first years of its growth, because the natural pruning is not sufficient. The wild cherry usually grows together with other tree species, which reach the bigger height as cherry trees, therefore the wild cherry should be admixed in the stands in a small groups.
