This paper deals with the acorn morphology (length, diameter and mass), analyzed in seventeen English oak genotypes (Quercus robur L.) from the English Oak Clonal Seed Orchard Banov Brod (Srem, Vojvodina), Serbia (Serbia&Montenegro). The highest values of acorn mass and length were measured in genotype 5. The largest diameters were measured in genotypes 6 and 21. Genotype 35 had the lowest acorn mass, length and diameter. The results from this study should serve as guidelines for the selection of trees yielding fruits possessing the desirable morphological characteristics.
