Biological characteristics of some decorative species introduced in Absheron

The climatic features of the Absheron peninsula bring it closer to the areas of dry subtropics. It has been established that the most prospective for the introduction of woody plants on the Absheron are the subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, the countries of the Mediterranean floristic region and America. One of the main goals of the introduction conducted at the Institute of Dendrology of the MSE of the Republic of Azerbaijan is to enrich Absheron with new species of decorative trees and shrubs. In order to grow tree and shrub species used in greening in the conditions of Absheron, it is necessary to ensure their perspective due to the introduction of new exotic species. The article provides information on the introduction, botanical description, and propagation methods of subtropical and tropical plants planted and cultivated in Absheron during the research. In this direction, taking into account the bio-ecological nature of the Absheron peninsula, it is planned to use trees and shrubs with high durability characteristics. It was found that the various studied species develop well in Absheron conditions.
