Abstract:
Rhododendrons are not native to Lithuania, but are often cultivated in botanical gardens, various public and private green plantations. Resistance to low temperatures are among the most important criteria in evaluating the condition of the rhododendron collection in the Botanical Garden of ŠU. The research initiated in the ŠU Botanical Garden will help in the selection and propagation of ornamental and tolerant to low temperatures representatives of species and cultivars, suitable for cultivation in northern Lithuania.
