Resident Attitudes Toward Selected Characteristics of Street Tree Plantings    (View PDF)

Kevin L. Kalmbach and J. James Kielbaso

Abstract: A survey of social attitudes toward selected characteristics of street tree plantings in five midwestern cities indicates that trees are aesthetically desirable in urban settings and that street trees over twenty-five feet tall are aesthetically preferable to smaller trees. Street tree planting densities of one tree per house appear satisfactory to a large segment of the population and street tree size preference is largely independent of a person's age, degree of education and sex.
