The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the size and viability of pollen from the most
common types of trees and shrubs growing in street plantings of Aktobe city: Ulmus pinnato-ramosa, Ulmus laevis, Acer
negundo, Populus tremula and Syringa vulgaris. Sterility of pollen may indicate a depressed state of woody plants long before it dries or dies. As a result pollen of Ulmus laevis and Acer negundo showed sensitivity to urban conditions. A correlation
between pollen size and fertility was found.
