The adaptive features of Actinidia kolomikta in the conditions of the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine under action of abiotic stress factors on the base of leaf morphology and pigments content during the process of leaf color changes were investigated. The results confirm the high level of ecological plasticity of A. kolomikta which promotes the wide and successful introduction of this plant in landscape design.
