As part of the tripartite agreement signed on 16 April 2019 between Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Gospodarki Komunalnej i Mieszkaniowej Zakład budżetowy w Łomży (Municipal Utilities and Housing Company Budgetary Facility in Lomza), Instytut Ochrony Roślin Państwowym Instytut Badawczy w Białymstoku (Institute for Plant Protection of National Research Institute in Białystok) and Wyższa Szkoła Agrobiznesu w Łomży (Higher School of Agribusiness in Lomza), currently Międzynarodowa Akademia Nauk Stosowanych w Łomży (The International Academy of Applied Sciences in Lomza), 51 Oxytree trees were planted in the second half of May 2019 in the city’s green belts along urban traffic routes with heavy vehicle traffic. This paper compares the biometric traits of oxytree plantings in the city of Łomża, in two growing seasons of 2019-2020. The degree of adaptation and growth of this species tree in north-eastern Poland’s urban conditions was studied. The growth rate per diameter and trunk height per development of Oxytree in two consecutive growing years were determined. The average height of how many trees after the first growing year was 95.3 cm, with an average stem diameter of 19 mm measured at 20 cm from the ground. In the second growing year, the average height of the 51 trees was 171.9 cm, with an average stem diameter of 35 mm.
