Abstract
To complement horticultural methods of street tree valuation and simulation studies of landscape perception, a survey procedure for assessing householder response to specific street trees was developed. Use of the instrument in eight California cities involving 816 householders showed significant differences among species in benefits and annoyances. Consistent with the positive image of street trees, benefits were mentioned more often than annoyances and correlated more highly with overall satisfaction. Complaints regarding city tree maintenance were endemic in all of the communities.
