The article discusses contemporary bio-ecological conditions of Taxus baccata L.
in its natural distribution area of Georgia, particularly in Batsara National Preserve. Contemporary
bio-ecological conditions of Taxus baccata L. spread in decorative gardening of eastern Georgia
have also been studied based on the samples of the collection (47 pieces) of Tsinandali Arboretum.
We have studied the periods of bud opening, vegetation ending, starting and finishing of
cambium action, sprout woodening process, time and rate of growing in height, and regularities of
accumulation-transformation of storage carbohydrates.
The studies revealed that the Yew growth duration is affected by the snowless winter and
frequent droughts increased in the last decades as they cause the lack of water in soils and badly
affect the plant growth.
Regularities of accumulation-transformation of storage carbohydrates and the studies of
sprout woodening and cambium action peculiarities prove the strong ability of frost-resistance.
In order to conserve this endangered species (Taxus baccata L.) it‟s needful to introduce it
widely in decorative gardening.
