Description
Summary:The characteristics of distinguishing morphological, decorative and ecological features of the genus Amelanchier Medik. and 8 its representatives from the collection of National Dendrological Park Sofiyivka of the NAS of Uk raine are given. The results of the seasonal changes study are shown and complex assessment of their decorativeness is given according to such indicators as architectonic of the trunk and crown, decorativeness of leaves, buds, flowers and fruits, color and texture of the bark of the trunk, branches and shoots. It is shown that Juneberry species belong to highly decorative plants and slightly differ from each other in individual morphological features that provide their perception as an element of landscape architecture. Due to heavy seasonal flowering, foliation, fruiting and significant range of possible environmental adaptability to vegetation conditions the genus Amelanchier representatives can be recommended for wide use in landscape gardening construction.
