Reference Type
Journal, Research (Article)

This study uses TreeKeeper? data to compile a listing of those species most often associated with hardscape damage in three southern California cities, and compares results from another study. [UMN]

"Tree root damage to hardscape is a problem for most cities, costing millions of dollars annually statewide for repairs and associated legal expenses. There is a need to systematically identify which tree species are the most often associated with hardscape damage, so that urban tree managers can make appropriate species selections. This study uses TreeKeeper® data to compile a listing of those species most often associated with hardscape damage in three southern California cities, and compares results from another study."
