| description | This article brings forward a reflection on five species that are currently part of the urban tree population of many Colombian cities and towns that, nevertheless, have been reported to cause severe damage to architectural constructions, civil works, residential utilities infrastructure and public lighting on the urban space: the Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina), the Rubber Fig (Ficus elastica), the Flame Tree (Delonix regia), the Breadfruit Tree (Artocarpus communis) and the African Tulip Tree (Spathodea campanulata). The paper concludes that such species should not be planted in public and/or private urban green spaces in Colombian cities and towns, due to the severe and costly damages that their aggressive roots may cause. |

El artículo presenta cinco especies que actualmente hacen parte de la arborización urbana de muchas ciudades y municipios colombianos, pero que han sido reportadas por causar daños severos a construcciones arquitectónicas, obras civiles, redes de servicios domiciliarios e iluminación pública en el espacio urbano: ficus Ficus benjamina, caucho Ficus elástica, flamboyán Delonix regia, árbol del pan Artocarpus communis y tulipán africano Spathodea campanulata. Se concluye que estas especies no deben plantarse en las zonas verdes públicas y privadas de los municipios y ciudades colombianas, debido a que sus raíces agresivas generan costosos y severos daños.
