The collection is carried out at registered seed facilities, while seed processing and storage is carried out at the Forest Seed Center in Požega, where seeds of various species of conifers and broadleaves can be obtained, as well as empty cones of conifer species used for decorative purposes.
In the nurseries of SE “Srbijašume”, forest plant material of broadleaves, conifersand forest fruit trees of different species, types and ages are produced.
