Project Results

  • There are 81 distinct tree species along Buckeye-Shaker Square's street rights-of-way. Highly abundant species such as Acer platanoides (Norway maple, 18%) currently pose a threat to the biodiversity of Buckeye-Shaker Square's street tree population. Other predominant species include: Acer rubrum (red maple, 8%); Gleditsia triacanthos inermis (thornless honeylocust, 7%); Tilia cordata (littleleaf linden, 7%); Fraxinus pennsylvanica (green ash, 6%); and Quercus palustris (pin oak, 6%). Norway maple is a non-native invasive species, which poses an additional concern.
  • The age structure of Buckeye-Shaker Square's street trees is skewed towards the 9-17 inches size class (Established). There are too few trees in the smallest diameter class (Young); the high volume of Established and Mature trees does not bode well for the future flow of benefits.
  • The majority of Buckeye-Shaker Square's street trees are in Fair or Good condition (61% and 25%, respectively). Maintaining these trees is essential to maximizing their benefits and increasing their useful lifespan. Critical and Dead trees need to be removed as soon as possible.
  • Replacing Buckeye-Shaker Square's 2,656 street trees with trees of similar size, species, and condition would cost approximately $7.3 million.
  • There are 68 distinct tree species along Cudell's street rights-of- way. Highly abundant species such as Platanus hybrid (London planetree, 18%) currently pose a threat to the biodiversity of Cudell's street tree population. Other predominant species include: Acer platanoides (Norway maple, 11%); Malus spp. (flowering crabapple, 7%); Gleditsia triacanthos inermis (thornless honeylocust, 5%); Tilia cordata (littleleaf linden, 5%); and A. rubrum (red maple, 4%). Norway maple is a non-native invasive species, which poses an additional concern.

  • The majority of Cudell's street trees are in Fair and Good condition (56% and 29%, respectively). Maintaining these trees is essential to maximizing their benefits and increasing their useful lifespan. Critical and Dead trees need to be removed as soon as possible.
  • Replacing Cudell's 1,577 street trees with trees of similar size, species, and condition would cost approximately $5.3 million.
