The paper deals with the study of cambial growth of 32 species of woody plants, carried out in Kakheti region during six years. We have studied several plants and found out that they begin their cambial growth (with the exception of some oak species) after bud opening. According to calendar time, two groups of plants were distinguished: the first group of the plants began cambial growth in late March and at the beginning of April. These plants are as follows: Larix decidua Mill and Larix leptolepis Gord., Acer negundo L., Aesculus carnea Haine., Aesculus hippocastanum L. and 20 other species. The second group of the plants began cambium activity in May. These are plant species like Picea orientalis (L.) Link., Pinus griffithii Mc Cleland, Quercus occidentalis J. Gay., Magnolia grandiflora L. and others. The earliest completion of cambial growth was observed in the lateral branches of spruce, fir and other trees. The latest accomplishment (the first half of October) of cambial growth occurred in case of Cedrus atlantica Mannetti. and Cedrus deodara Loud., Pinus griffithii Mc Clel., Magnolia grandiflora L., Firmiana platanifolia Schott., etc. The endogenous rhythm of the investigated plants (with few exceptions) is in synchronous connection with the climate of Kakheti region, so we consider these plants to be interesting species for the decorative gardening and forestry of Telavi district, and deserve widespread distribution.
