In this episode, we dig into one of the most important (and often overlooked) principles of urban forestry: planting the right tree in the right place. From avoiding overhead wires and underground pipes to choosing species that thrive in city soils and support local ecosystems, we’ll explore how smart tree selection can lead to healthier neighborhoods, longer-lived trees, and fewer maintenance headaches. Whether you’re a homeowner, community volunteer, or just tree-curious, this episode will help you plant with purpose.
