Australian Urban Street Tree Evaluation Program (AUSTEP®)

AUSTEP provides the industry with tree evaluations, items of interest and tree happenings.

AUSTEP began in October 2001 with a small group of industry people who put together a format to undertake tree evaluations in municipalities and other notable areas like state parks. The major benefit of this undertaking is sustainable ongoing evaluation and information on many species / cultivars, planted across widely varied geographical locations and differing site conditions.
