Urban Tree Selection
Selecting the right tree for the right place will save time, money, and later disappointments. As with any major investment, it is crucial to take the time to investigate and invest wisely. (Gilman E.F. 1997). Further, Neely (1988) comments on the public awareness of the benefits of trees in the landscape. He cites a US survey of public attitudes that found 99% believed trees were an asset. Most people enjoy trees for the sheer delight of having them in their every-day surroundings as they stimulate the senses and give peace to the weary mind.
