Planting survival rates were determined for commonly planted street trees in Wisconsin. Removal records provide evidence of a four year establishment period. With a few exceptions, survival was found to be generally independent of species/cultivar selections in the cities of Milwaukee and Stevens Point, but significant differences were found in the city of Waukesha. Recommendations are made regarding species/cultivar use.
