Tree planting is a vital component of a sound urban forest management program. Trees are living organisms and must be replaced to sustain the urban forest as a whole. City life is hard on trees, therefore planting must be done to assist nature and counter the many impacts present. A properly-planted, appropriately-sized, well-adapted tree can cost hundreds of dollars to plant and keep alive for the sensitive establishment period.<\/p>\n
