Abstract
Trees planted in the urban street setting are constantly fighting for their survival. Trees need sunlight, oxygen, water, and soil volume for nutrients and stability. As our urban population centers grow, technology and planning are needed to help establish trees in this environment. As new planting materials are developed and transplanting techniques are modified, it becomes necessary to change our method of planting to meet the urban forests’ challenge. Using the Princeton area as a model for planting and maintenance specifications in the Northeast will show both the seasonal considerations and problems involved in keeping a healthy and sustainable tree population.
