Abstract
Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) is a woody plant with a broad spectrum of utilization: in forestry, landscape gardening, horticulture, and park plantings. An experimental cultivation of broadleaves large-sized saplings, carried out in 2006–2010, was evaluated within the frame of the project ʻOptimization of woody plants production, important in landscape reconstruction and maintenanceʼ. Mortality, height and width growth as well as growth dynamics within the growing season were measured as affected by application of slow-release fertilizer and response to climatic factors. The optimal fertilizer dose was affected by precipitation and varied between 50 and 100 kg of nitrogen per ha. The mortality of the saplings was within the range of 5–12% and was higher at the highest fertilizer dose and the con trol variant, without fertilization
