Abstract
The article contains information on the presence and vital state of the natural renewal of 10 species of fir growing on the territory of the Central Botanical Garden of NAS of Belarus.
Under the conditions of introduction, the investigated species of fir give a viable self-seeding, though not always abundant and uniform. The best indices of height and diameter of the root neck of different ages are the shoots of A. nordmanniana and A. sibirica. A. alba, A. nordmanniana and A. sibirica have the largest number of self-sowing adults of the older age group. In all investigated firs, the vital state of the shoots is estimated as healthy.
