Sažetak
Trees and shrubs are used in landscaping in the following ways: as individual plants (solitaire plants), in groups, ground cover plants (shrubs), for rock gardens and for making hedges, to name a few. Ecological, morphological and biological characteristics of trees and shrubs need to be considered during the design process of different landscape areas. Evergreen species of trees and shrubs are very commonly used in the Mediterranean. The following species of evergreen trees and shrubs are grown in the Mediterranean: Acca sellowiana Berg., Aucuba japonica Thunb. Buxus sempervirens L. Callistemon citrinus (Curt.), Citrus limon (L.) Burm. Fil., Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl., Euonimus japonicus L. f., Fortunella japonica (Thunb.) Swingle, Ligustrum ovalifolium Hassk., Photinia serratifolia (Desf.) Kalkman, Magnolia grandifolia L. Nerium oleander L., Pittosporum tobira (Thunb.) Aiton f. and Prunus laurocerasus L, whose morphological and growth characteristics have been presented in this paper. A survey research conducted in the areas covered by the cities or on the islands both in Zadar County and Šibenik-Knin County has been used in this paper as the primary data source. The specific objective of the survey research was to explore the perceptions and attitudes of the respondents on ornamental characteristics and the use of Mediterranean evergreen trees and shrubs. The survey research was conducted in the second half of 2019 on a sample of 50 respondents. The research findings showed as follows: the respondents assessed ornamental characteristics of the selected species with very good grades, attractiveness of the use of trees and shrubs in public landscapes, as well as in public gardens and parks, was assessed with the average grade good. Maintenance method was assessed by the respondents as mostly easy, while the impact on human psyche and health was assessed with the average grade very good.
