Growth And Establishment Of Newly Planted Street Trees, Alexander R. Sherman
Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014
Developing quantified establishment period estimates for newly planted trees will help set realistic goals for plant performance in the urban landscape. Nine years of tree planting records obtained from the city of Boston, MA and the town of Brookline, MA were used to derive samples of trunk caliper for hedge maple (Acer campestre), London planetree (Platanus x acerifolia), and red oak (Quercus rubra). Several site characteristics were measured to identify effects on newly planted tree growth.
Breakpoint estimates of the piecewise regression models fell at 4 years and 6 years for London planetree and …
