James Urban, FASLA on the basics of tree structure and growth

The way we plan for trees in cities has little to do with how trees grow - and everything to do with how roads, buildings, and utilities are constructed. How do trees really grow? What is their structure? Can we use our understanding of these factors to influence how we design our environments and plant them?

James Urban, FASLA, explains the basics of tree structure and growth - and gives a special nod to the colonists, who plotted the American revolution around a famous tree.
