Abstract	Trees in the streets are a characteristic of city infrastructure and should be planned and administered together with other urban components so that the population´s life quality could be maintained at satisfactory levels. Current study evaluates the trees on the streets in downtown Maringa PR Brazil. A quality-quantity census was undertaken in which the trees were identified by taxonomy and bibliography, coupled to the characteristics of plantation sites, root system, top coverage and trimming. Results indicate 1,758 tree samples from 57 species, predominantly sibipirunas (36.6%), tipuanas (20.4%) and alecrim (15.8%). Further, 33.2% of the trees were planted in plots. Root system was evaluated and revealed that 30.0% of trees broke the sidewalks. It was also verified that 20.0% of top covers negatively interfered with buildings. Data on pruning and trimming revealed that 19.0% failed to show any trace of pruning. Results show that the richness of vegetal species in the study area is high but badly distributed. There are more negative impacts of tree top covers on buildings in commercial zones.
