Popis: Urban forestry is a vital element in improving the quality of life of the population living in the urban environment. However, in several Brazilian cities notes to failure to address the issue of urban trees and their problems. The objective of this research was to conduct a quantitative and qualitative survey of tree species for some public roads in the city of Baixio-CE, as well as identify the species surveyed and analyzing their phytosanitary conditions. The method used for the quantitative research was the total inventory of tree species that are on the streets and sidewalks. In which, we sampled 240 individuals. The results showed that the most abundant species was Azadirachta indica (Neem Indian) with 68% Ficus benjamina L. and (Ficus), 19% of screened individuals. The qualitative method consists in visual assessment and photographic records on the parameters of plant health, quality pruning, interference in the power grid and sidewalk. Of the 240 trees sampled, 223 have good plant health, while 16 are in regular conditions, and only 7, with any occurrence of pests or mechanical damage. There is a homogeneity of the individuals surveyed, indicating a low diversity of the tree species in the public roads.
