Abstract: The study was carried out in 2011–2013 in Botanical garden of Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, Slovak Republic. Three species of Mediterranean evergreen shrubs Pittosporum tobira L, Trachycarpos fortunei (HOOK) H.WENDL and Laurus
nobilis L. were planted in two types of plantings, plants planted in the ground and plants planted in pots which is removed
during the winter time (10.11–25.03) in side the greenhouse average temperature was 8 °C during the winter time. The
sample of young, one year leaves had been taken in end of January when temperature was (-3 °C) at 9 am. The study
showed that starch and total sugar affected by planting type, planting in greenhouse led to increase starch and total sugar
significantly comparing with planting outside during the winter time. The best result was obtained in Laurus nobilis which
showed supremacy in the entire studied characteristic, lowest value of starch and total sugar were found in Trachycarpos fortunei.
