Abstract: Integration and landscaping of Budapest started after the union of Buda, Óbuda and Pest in year 1873. In this time more
than 50 % of planted trees were Robinia pseudo-acacia, following by Acer platanoides and Aesculus hippocastanum with
number of 6000–7000, and species of Fraxinus excelsior, Ailanthus glandulosa, Celtis orientalis, Ulmus effuse and Acer negundo
with number of 1000–2000. In World War I and II, lot of trees were cut. The remained parks needed the fast-growing species
such as poplar (Populus), ash-leaved maple (Acer negundo) or silver maple (Acer saccharinum). The aims in this investigation
were to monitoring the planting materials, supporting of alleys, healthy states of trees as summarizing survival rate under
urban conditions. The effects of urban environments conspire to the old trees damage, the average age of trees in alley
calculated about 29.1 year in Budapest. The life cycle of a tree is short. In present-day the alleys in Budapest contain
39 species with more than 100 cultivars. The ideal trees bear shade, drought, poor soil, continuously pruning of roots and
shoots, the injuring, the air pollination, the salting and the dog urine. These strong requirements decreased the planting
number of sycamores (Platanus) and horse-chestnuts (Aesculus). It is recommended to keep trees assessing, to maintain
them and change the salting materials under wintertime. The heavy environmental conditions determine the applicable
tree species in cities.
