We, with the help of an optical microscope, measurements were taken of length and width of pollen grains and their viability determined by the method of staining solution iodine – chloral hydrate. Studied species such as downy birch (B. pubescens Ehrh), the Karelian birch (B. pendu-la Roth var. Carelica Merkl.) dalecarlica and birch (Betula dalecarlica L). All the necessary work of collecting material was produced in the spring of 2015 on the territory of Semiluksky nursery in the Voronezh region. The research data were obtained about the size and viability of pollen types is presented and conclusions are made.
