Summary/Abstract: The wintertime in Poland lasts for a long period of time so there is a significant need to keep planting evergreens. One of the most important groups among the plants growing in cities are coniferous and deciduous evergreen shrubs. Deciduous evergreen shrubs keep their leaves all-year-long, therefore they are a fixed element in parks and gardens. It is also important that some of them make decorative flowers and fruit. Unfortunately, they are demanding plants. There are only a few species that grow well in the Polish climate and tolerate severe winter frost. This includes, in particular, the colder areas of eastern Poland. For this reason, in the green areas of the cities it is optimal to plant trees and shrubs that are best-tailored to real natural conditions. It will allow them to grow healthily and look their best for years to come. The research on deciduous evergreen shrubs conducted in Lublin, which involved an analysis of the composition of the species, their status and condition revealed that in addition to the plants recommended in the selection of species in green areas of Lublin, it is possible to plant at least 5 other species. This indicates the possibility of extending the list of deciduous evergreen shrub species for the green areas of Lublin.
