Summary "Street Trees" by F. L. Mulford is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work details the importance, cultivation, and management of street trees in urban environments, focusing on practical aspects such as species selection, planting conditions, and maintenance strategies. The book emphasizes the aesthetic, environmental, and health benefits of well-planned street tree systems and the necessity of public oversight in planting and care. The opening of "Street Trees" highlights the historical context and significance of shade trees in urban development. Mulford discusses how early settlers valued shade trees for the comfort and beauty they brought to their homes and towns. However, as cities expanded and conditions for tree growth became more challenging, a lack of proper planning led to a mix of unsuitable tree species and haphazard plantings. The text advocates for public control and the necessity of a coordinated approach to urban tree maintenance to ensure shared benefits across communities and effective management of street trees.
