Abstract
The article provides information on the phenological rhythms of representatives of the genus Abies Mill. and their decorative forms growing on the territory of the Central Botanical Garden. The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of adaptability of introduced species to local conditions and to establish from the possible potential use in landscaping the country. Studies have shown that in all studied species of fir, biological rhythms coincide with the climatic rhythms of Belarus, which indicates a sufficient degree of their adaptation to new conditions. At the same time, A. alba and A. nordmanniana are less winter-hardy and are damaged by spring frosts, while A. sibirica, A. concolor, A. fraseri, and A. nephrolepis are annually damaged by diseases and pests. A. holophylla, A. veitchii and A. koreana are potentially suitable for use in the country’s green building. Among the ornamental forms, A. nordmanniana ‘Lennartz’ and A. alba ‘Belopestraya’ are annually damaged by frosts. The rest of the forms of fir have successfully passed the initial test under the conditions of introduction, adapted to local conditions and are suitable for use in landscaping the territory of Belarus.
