The author has identified and described old trees growing in Truskavets and has given their taxation indices. It is shown that the trees growth placeis associated with the formation of the city as a resort. Four stages are distinguished in the town greenization. It has been found out that in addition to the native species like Qutrcusrjbur L., Fraxsynus excelsior L., Acer pseudoplatanus L., Tilliacordata Mill., Abies alba Mill., Pinussylvestris L. found in both the resort park and, sometimes,in the town streets, oldexotic trees species, including Abies nordmanniana (Steven) Spach, Pinuspallasiana D. Don, Pynusstrobus L., Camaecyparis lawsoniana (Murray) Pari., Ch. lawsoniana 'Alumii', Liriodendron tupilifera L. Platanusojccidentalis L. Fagusssylvatica 'Pendula', Aesculushippocastanum L., Ulmusglabra Huds. 'Pendula' grow as well. Most trees are in satisfactory condition and make a real decoration of the town streets and the resortpark landscapes. Some oak trees are over 300 years old. Having considered the historical, biological and decorative value of these trees the author consider them to be worth giving the status of the local natural sights.
