RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Better Ways of Selecting Trees for Urban Plantings JF Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) FD International Society of Arboriculture SP 145 OP 153 DO 10.48044/jauf.1982.035 VO 8 IS 6 A1 Henry D. Gerhold A1 Christopher J. Sacksteder YR 1982 UL http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/8/6/145.abstract AB How to choose the best species and cultivars for particular planting sites is a challenging problem even for experienced arborists. Many types of information are available to guide decisions, but more specific and precise urban performance data are needed. A threefold strategy is suggested for urban tree managers: 1) exploit current knowledge more fully; 2) participate in tree testing to obtain more extensive, objective data; and 3) consider special analyses of existing plantings to fill the gap until test results became available.
