Most of the coniferous species on the territory of Kirovskoye forestry Breeding and Seed Production Complex in Volgograd deserve attention as promising for landscaping in urban conditions, as they have decorative potential and ecological and biological stability. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the decorative value of some coniferous species based on the vital state of plants. In Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana Lamb. and Pinus sylvestris L. A high category of vital conditions (1 point) has been identified, thus they are potentially advantageous species for use in urbanized areas. Of coniferous shrubs, suitable species for landscaping activities are: Juniperus sabina L. and Juniperus communis L. since the majority (76.9 %) of the studied objects of these species have the highest score when assessing the category of plant condition (1 point). According to the overall assessment of the living condition, all coniferous species studied belong to resistant and decorative species (40 points). The individual characteristics of each species and its sustainability are of direct importance in the landscaping of territories.
