CREATION OF DECORATIVE FORMS OF SCOTS PINE FOR THE GREENING OF URBANIZED ENVIRONMENT

The features of creating decorative forms from Scots pine trees are considered. It has been established that, as a result mechanical damage (death an apical bud or shoot) and subsequent regeneration processes in trunks, two main directions post-traumatic deformations young trunks stand out - violation monopodial branching occurrence multi-stemming. In the case death shoot, early spring, growth shoots whorl buds is activated their vertical reorientation occurs. After short period relative multi-stemming, one takes place central shoot. Formation multi-stemming occurs mainly late spring-summer period. There also increased reorientation. All formed retain orientation future with formation several separate stems. shown that damage-regeneration reflected condition trunk wood places damage. areas where took place, noticeable increase basic density observed by 15-20 % shoot replacement 25-45 content increases 10-30 15-35 recommended, to create forms, select no older than 8-10 years old, average rate height. Decorative require annual adjustments.
