It makes perfect sense to plant useful multi functional tree species in our city, suburban and country streets. Be it for food, timber or animal forage, these types of plants increase the wealth, options, resilience and security of a community and make good use of limited space. In some countries productive street tree plants are common like Barcelona in Spain where citrus trees frequently appear on the street. Japan is the home of the prunus. In Australia oaks line the streets of Canberra and mangos and macadamias are common in Queensland.

But where do you start and how do you go about it? There are many things to consider for your street tree planting so if you want it to be successful and get it right the first time then this workshop is for you.
