Abstract
Tree is a woody perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves in most species. Trees play a significant role in reducing erosion and moderating the climate. They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store large quantities of carbon in their tissues. Trees and forests provide a habitat for many species of animals and plants. Trees provide shade and shelter, timber for construction, fuel for cooking and heating and fruit for food as well as having many other uses. Trees also provide aesthetic value to reduce the mental stress in human being. Trees create a visual impact in landscape features and give a sense of maturity and permanence to park and garden. They are grown for the beauty of their forms, their foliage, flowers, fruit and bark and their sitting is of major importance in creating a landscape.
