The present paper deals with data obtained from fifteen years old Norway spruce progeny test established at three sites in the Sazava River region, Czech Republic. The height of spruce trees was evaluated 15 years after the establishment of the trial. Genetic parameters were estimated using the Restricted Maximum Likelihood procedure followed by the Best Linear Unbiased Prediction. Genetic parameters estimates were used to predict genetic gain in three alternative selection strategies. The value of the gain depends on the target value of gene diversity. Thus, it can be expected to obtain a gain of 10-15% when selecting 50 breeding trees.
