Importance <strong>and</strong> use<br />
Wood <strong>of</strong> the wild service tree is very dense <strong>and</strong> has good bending<br />
strength. It was used in the past to make screws for winepresses,<br />
billiard queue sticks <strong>and</strong> musical instruments. Today, it is usually<br />
used for decorative veneers. The species is favoured by hunters,<br />
because its fruits are well appreciated by many birds <strong>and</strong> a few<br />
mammals. The fruits are also used to produce liquors, especially<br />
in Germany <strong>and</strong> Austria. In Pol<strong>and</strong>, this species is almost not used<br />
due to lack <strong>of</strong> supply.
