AB  - The high degree of subjectivity involved in judging the condition of a shade tree pointed to a need for a method that would help quantify tree condition. The method described utilizes 6 factors involved in tree condition. Each factor is given a rating, and the sum of the ratings gives a numerical value equatable to a condition class. The method is useful when introducing shade tree condition to traditional foresters who may be unfamiliar with urban forestry, and may also be useful to individuals who need precise data of tree condition.
