Every year, designers' interest in conifers increases, and their assortment at landscaping facilities expands. Studies devoted to the study of aspects of the sustainability of conifers in the urban environment are becoming relevant. The results of studying the condition of seedlings of the Western Thuja "Golden Smaragd" (Thuja occidentalis "Golden Smaragd") in the city of Buturlinovka, Voronezh region, are presented. The causes of plant shrinkage include the discrepancy between the growing conditions and the bioecological characteristics of the breed, the violation of planting and care technologies, the incorrectly formed root system of plants, as well as their colonization by pests and pathogens. In order to improve the health of the western Golden Smaragd thuja plantings and increase their sustainability, a set of measures has been proposed, including replacing dead and shrinking specimens with healthy and agrotechnical care.
