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.
