Abstract

We studied the state of poplars in the park Saksaganskyi in Kryvyi Rih, their share being 14.6 % of the total number of trees and 21 % of the total number of taxa. The vast majority of specimens are aged 40; such trees in the conditions of Kryvyi Rih need constant care. The general condition of poplars can be considered weakened, it may be due to the lack of proper care. Plantations of Populus simonii are of the best state, while those of P. berolinensis are of the worst state. Preliminary expert assessment of the peculiarities of poplar operation, in particular the determination of the optimal pruning type and age limits for complete removal of plants, is appropriate to determine maintenance works. It is recommended to enrich the park plantings with new plantings of P. bolleana, which have high aesthetic properties, as well as to introduce species of this genus, in particular P. suaveolens Fisch. ex Loudon, P. balsamifera L. et al.
