Abstract
A census of all existing roadside trees in urban Hong Kong was implemented to collect comprehensive information on site characteristics, growing space, tree structure, and tree defects and disorders. The survey methodology, emphasizing data quality, uniformity, and the minimization of subjective judgement, was based on previous experience and refinement after pilot testing. A microcomputer database was established together with plotting of tree locations on large-scale maps.Keywords
