Here’s how we choose new street tree locations! #urbanforestry

Here’s how we got about selecting the right tree for street tree planting in a small city. There are many factors to consider when choosing the right tree: if it’s native or not, space underground and above ground, tree pit size, utilities, proximity to houses or buildings, heat tolerance, sun exposure, pollution tolerance, and much more.

In my opinion, Brandywine Urban Forest, who I work for, is doing it right - planting eastern-US-native species nearly 100% of the time, and prioritizing the large-maturing ecological powerhouse trees like native oaks. Working with them on these projects has been refreshing and encouraging! Check out their page for more info on urban forestry!
