Street Tree Inventory in Mexico City    (View PDF)

Alicia Chacalo, Alejandro Aldama and Jaime Grabinsky

Abstract: A representative sample of 1261 sidewalk trees in 240 city blocks was measured and evaluated to describe the condition of trees in Mexico City. The data obtained were species, height, diameter, number of stems, site characteristics, health condition and required treatments. Nine species represent more than 72% of the trees. There are problems due to the planting in inappropriate locations, in the choice of species and in the lack of adequate and sufficient maintenance and planning.
