The northern regions of Russia are characterized by a relatively poor composition of the cultural dendroflora, that due to harsh climatic conditions. To create resistant varieties, it is necessary to attract local highly winter-resistant forms and on their basis to obtain hybrids with foreign species and new samples of Prunus padus L. with better ornamental characteristic to crossing with them.
Highlights
Bird cherry (Prunus padus L.) grows widely in the forest and forest-steppe zones, which make up most of the territory of Russia
The search and selection in nature for new, more decorative in terms of quality of flowers, genotypes and original mutations is an actual task. This branch had very small, narrow, densely spaced leaves that were noticeably different from the original plant
A part of the branch was transferred to the collection of the Central Siberian Botanical Garden of the SB RAS
Summary
Bird cherry (Prunus padus L.) grows widely in the forest and forest-steppe zones, which make up most of the territory of Russia. She is one of the favorite plants for decorative landscaping among the local population. Our research showed a wide intraspecific variability of this species in many decorative traits and the prospects for creating new highly decorative varieties on its basis by intraspecific selection and interspecific hybridization
