2020
Plant Indroduction activities at Batumi Botanical Garden are connected with the foundation of the garden. The initiators of this job were I. Veru, M. D’Alphonse, E. Tatarinov, A. Solovtsev, G. Olinski, B. Stoyanov et al. Based on a conducted introductive research, the peculiarities of seasonal growth and development, reproduction issues, terms of separate phenol-phases, period of dormancy, winter resistence and sustainability towards pests were studied while studying morphological peculiarities of separate species, during vegetation period. Their aromatic, ornamental, medicinal and other economic-biological characteristics were evaluated. Among the growing exotics, two groups of species are important: 1. Exotics with decorative, aromatic merits, selected for single and group planting, such as Doryphora sassafras, Illicium verum, Leptospermum scoparium, Leptospermum scoparium var. chapmannii, Magnolia figo, Lindera communis., Schinus terebinthifolia. 2. Fruit-bearing and decorative plants with edible fruits. Interrelation between the flowering and fruit bearing was estimated in connection with internal and external factors. Plant development phases and air temperature, drought-resistance, seed quality (germination capacity) and other indices were evaluated. Under the conditions of the Botanical Garden, most studied plants are characterized by adequate growth and development. They flower and bear fruits, are drought and frost resistent. Some medicinal, aromatic and decorative plant species introduced at Batumi Botanical Garden can widely be implemented in modern pharmacology. According to their adaptation degree, the studied plants can be recommended for the reasonable application in the Ajara coastline.
