Allochtonous woody soecies Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle is widely distributed in inner-city Belgrade (Yugoslavia), as a selfgrown tree. Age structure of its individuals, as well as their ecophysiological and anatomical adaptability were studied to establish biological status (viability) of the species and its ability to survive expensively in the polluted areas of Belgrade. Chlorophyll content as well as the leaf structure were analysed in individuals derived both from inner-city Belgrade and its neighbourhood. Ailanthus altissima has been shown to be highly expansive and competitive woody plant, but also markedly resistant to the disturbed or stressed urban habitats.
