Abstract
Robinia pseudoacacia L. is an interesting example of how one plant species can be considered invasive or useful depending on the environment in which it is found. In the past, this tree species was planted in Poland for decorative purposes and for wood. For many years, it was recommended in poor and degraded habitats, because it favored the development of late succession plant species. The aim of the study was to check whether the black locust can still be considered a resistant tree species in urban greenery. The health condition of old trees growing along streets and in parks was compared. Occurrence of pests and pathogens for research. pseudoacacia The trees were assessed and the leaf mineral content was examined. The results of the research showed that the health status of acacia trees growing in the urban environment in Polish cities, especially along streets (compared to park sites), deteriorated significantly due to the interaction of harmful biotic and abiotic factors. Increased levels of toxic metals (Fe, Zn, Pb, Mn and Cd) in plant tissues and the accumulation of pests and pathogens negatively affect the health of R. pseudoacacia.
