Introducing Viburnum opulus L. into the dendroflora of Arkhangelsk
Abstract
Viburnum is a valuable ornamental tree species in the urban flora of Arkhangelsk. It is characterized by rapid growth, resilience to urban environmental conditions, strong soil-protecting properties, and high ornamental value. Viburnum has proven successful in northern green spaces due to its high adaptive capacity. The purpose of the research is to study the biological, ecological, and phenological features of the growth and development of common viburnum (Viburnum opulus L.) in the conditions of introduction in Arkhangelsk. Viburnum opulus L. can be found in parks, squares, streets, residential areas, and on the grounds of educational and medical institutions. The plants respond well to the urban environment of Arkhangelsk, exhibiting well-developed, properly formed crowns, brightly colored foliage, and a generally high aesthetic quality (83%). 65% of the examined Viburnum opulus L. plants are in good sanitary condition. The vegetation period of Viburnum opulus L. in Arkhangelsk averages from May 5th to October 27th, lasting 176±3 days. The flowering period of Viburnum opulus L. plants lasts 20 ± 4 days, making it an attractive species for landscape and architectural compositions in garden and park design in Arkhangelsk.
