The paper discusses the growth and developmental characteristics of certain rare woody plant species introduced in the Kakheti region. The study focuses on the target species: Ginkgo biloba L., Cryptomeria japonica (Thunb. ex L.F.) Don., Pinus strobus L., Liriodendron tulipifera L., Quercus alba L., Quercus rubra L., Quercus suber L., Juglans nigra L., Firmiana platanifolia Schott et Endl., Gymnocladus dioica (L.) K. Koch, Sophora japonica L., and Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. The research examines their phenology and phenometry, flowering and fruiting periods, seed quality, drought and frost resistance, the duration of cambial activity in 1–3-year-old shoots, and summarizes the outcomes of acclimatization and adaptation processes.
The results revealed that all studied species exhibit good growth and development, their annual developmental cycle includes all morphophysiological phases, they are not damaged by frost, they flower, bear fruit, and some even propagate naturally.
It is recommended that these species be widely introduced both in natural habitats and in cultivated landscapes.
