Although the city of Zagreb has a long tradition of designing gardens and city green areas, the data on
the species used are mostly recent and refer primarily to the 20th and 21st centuries. On the other hand,
references to the species used in the design of public and private green areas in the 19th century are
rare, i.e. they are mentioned only sporadically and marginally within the literature that deals with the
wider history of Zagreb or the history of Zagreb\u27s landscape architecture. The aim of this work was to
determine the woody species used in the landscaping of public green areas of the city of Zagreb in the
19th century. The analysis was carried out with the use of available literature data. Based on the
secondary literature sources used, a database of ornamental woody species that were used on public
green areas of the city of Zagreb in the 19th century was compiled. Data were collected on the species
used, year (or other time frame) of mention, purpose and specific location. Research has established
that in the 19th century deciduous tree species were mostly used as alley trees or solitaires. The most
frequently planted species were from the genera: Platanus, Acer, Populus, Liriodendron, Betula, Tilia
and Morus, and, from the woody climbers, ivy (Hedera helix) and vines (Vitis vinifera) were noted.
Roses (Rosa spp.) were widely used.Premda grad Zagreb ima dugu tradiciju uređenja vrtova i gradskih zelenih površina, podaci o vrstama
koje se pritom koriste su uglavnom novijeg datuma i odnose se prvenstveno na 20. i 21. stoljeće. S
druge strane, navodi o vrstama koje su se koristile u uređenju javnih i privatnih zelenih površina u 19.
stoljeću su rijetki tj. spominju se tek sporadično i marginalno u sklopu literature koja obrađuje širu
povijest Zagreba ili povijest zagrebačke krajobrazne arhitekture. Cilj rada bio je utvrditi koje su
drvenaste vrste korištene u uređenju javnih površina zelenila grada Zagreba u 19. stoljeću. Analiza je
provedena uz upotrebu dostupnih literaturnih podataka. Na temelju sekundarnih izvora podataka,
sastavljena je baza ukrasnih drvenastih vrsta koje su se sadile na javnim površinama zelenila grada
Zagreba u 19. stoljeću. Sakupljeni su podaci o korištenim vrstama, godini (ili drugoj vremenskoj
odrednici) spominjanja, namjeni te specifičnoj lokaciji. Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da su u 19. stoljeću
uglavnom u primjeni listopadne stablašice kao alejna stabla, grupacije stabala ili soliteri. Najčešće
sađene vrste bile su iz rodova: Platanus, Acer, Populus, Liriodendron, Betula, Tilia i Morus, a od
drvenastih penjačica zabilježene su bršljan (Hedera helix) i vinova loza (Vitis vinifera). Naveliko su se
koristile ruže (Rosa spp.)
