Abstract
Catalpa speciosa L. is considered a promising species for greening urbanized areas due to its high decorative value and ecological properties. This research presents the results of studying the biological characteristics and seed propagation of Catalpa speciosa L. under Botanical Garden conditions.
The study aimed to assess the adaptation potential of Catalpa speciosa L. to local climatic conditions by analyzing growth dynamics, morphological, and physiological parameters. Seed germination, plant resistance levels, and growth dynamics during the vegetative period were examined.
Experiments conducted between 2022 and 2024 analyzed the influence of environmental factors—such as soil moisture, light levels, and temperature regime—on seed germination, seedling growth and development, and seasonal growth characteristics. Additionally, the study demonstrated the effectiveness of stratification and agronomic methods in enhancing seed germination.
C.speciosa L. exhibited a high ability to adapt to soil and climatic conditions; however, its low drought resistance necessitates special care measures. The research findings form the basis for recommendations on the effective utilization of the decorative and ecological properties of C.speciosa. L. This study contributes to improving local ecosystem stability and expanding the use of C.speciosa L. in urban and suburban green space landscaping.
