Populus L. genus Species make an important component of man-made landscapes. The research aimed to analyze using the species of Populus genus in various forms of ornamental plantings the South and Central Ukraine areas. Thus, species and hybrids of Populus genus in the Central and Southern Ukraine cities landscaping are represented in both regular plantations - alleys and living walls and in the landscape types of plantations - arrays, groves, groups, nurseries and solitaires, where they protect the urban environment from harmful enterprises and transport emissions, noise, dust, reduce the action of wind flows, enriched air with ozone and phytoncides. To improve the phytosanitary status of Populus species and hybrids plantations planted in the 1960s-80s it is necessary to conduct sanitary, molding and rejuvenating poplars trimming. Pyramidal shape P. simonii ‘Fastigiata’ or P. suaveolens ‘Pyramidalis’, P.italica trees, which are highly resistant to industrial pollution and not forming allergenic fuzz, are advisable to be planted in regular lanes plantings in the streets and boulevards.
