Above ground and below? • How much sunlight is available? • How much water is available? • What is the purpose for the tree? i.e.wind block, shade, feature, privacy, habitat, etc.

  6. Selection Process • Avoid trees that: • have bad root structure i.e. girdling roots • have too many leaders • have been tip pruned extensively i.e. apical pruning • are too big. Small trees tolerate transportation and transplanting stress better • have bark wounds
