Vancouver has more than 100,000 trees of many different species lining its streets and adding to the beauty and livability of the city. Up to 20 per cent of these trees are more than 12 metres high and these include maples, chestnuts and elms. Cherries and plums make up another 30 per cent of the street trees but many are now old and unfortunately are in decline.
