Air quality in Tashkent has deteriorated sharply over the past decade, and winter inversions now push mean annual PM2.5 concentrations more than twenty-fold above World Health Organization guidelines. Urban greening is a cost-effective, co-beneficial strategy for particulate mitigation, yet most fast-growing ornamentals suited to temperate zones cannot withstand Uzbekistan’s hot, semi-arid summers without intensive irrigation. This narrative review synthesises peer-reviewed studies (2015–2025) quantifying the PM2.5-retention capacity of drought-resistant trees, shrubs and herbaceous perennials. Particular emphasis is placed on species already acclimatised to Central Asian soils, such as Platanus acerifolia, Catalpa bignonioides, Pinus eldarica and the native desert shrub Haloxylon ammodendron. International findings on xerophytic ornamentals (e.g., Nerium oleander, Bougainvillea spectabilis) and conifers with waxy foliage are evaluated for transferability to Tashkent’s urban fabric. Key morphological traits – rough leaf cuticles, high trichome density and complex canopy architecture – are identified as enhancing particulate deposition while maintaining physiological resilience under heat and water stress.
