Abstract

The study conducted a morphological and comparative study of woody plants with a focus on Paulownia tomentosa (Thunb.) Steud. The aim of the study was to evaluate the morphometric and qualitative characteristics of this species at an early stage of ontogenesis and to identify its differences from common deciduous tree species in temperate zones - Populus tremula, Betula pendula, and Quercus robur. The study was conducted under controlled greenhouse conditions. The parameters of shoot height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and leaf blade area were analysed, as well as qualitative morphological characteristics of above-ground organs. It has been established that Paulownia tomentosa at the age of 6 months significantly surpasses comparative species in terms of key morphometric indicators, characterised by intensive growth, large leaf size and pronounced development of above-ground organs. The morphological characteristics identified confirm the high growth and adaptation potential of this species in the early stages of development. The results obtained indicate the promise of Paulownia tomentosa for introduction, further morphological and biological research, and practical use in forestry and landscaping.
