During the survey, samples of leaves were collected, natural conditions were described and numerous photos of the Phoenix theophrasti were made. The climatic characteristics of the Turkish part of the natural disjunctive area of Phoenix theophrasti and the regions of introduction are represented by climatic diagrams constructed according to the method of H. Walter and H. Lieth with additions. The seedlings were grown from the received seeds of the palm center (Palmiye Merkez-Park 48800 Toparlar / Köyceğiz / MuğlaTürkei), which will be subsequently tested on the Southern coast of the Crimea (SCC) and Caucasian Riviera (CR)...
