The initial stages of the ontogenesis of Capparis spinosa L. (Capparidaceae) were studied for the first time in the conditions of the Tashkent Botanical Garden of the Republic of Uzbekistan. In plants, the seed peel is very dense and hard. Therefore, in laboratory and field conditions, the germination of seeds is low. In natural conditions, the seeds of mature fruits do not germinate for a long time (4 - 5 years). The seeds after undergoing cold stratification gave positive results (70% - 80%).
