Proposed trees along a residential street next to a new development site should first be selected based on which of the following?

Selecting trees for residential streets near a new development should prioritize:

Adaptability to local climate and soil conditions to ensure healthy growth and longevity.

While seasonal foliage, color, scale, and wildlife habitat are important, they are secondary to

ensuring the tree can survive and thrive in the environment.

Dense root systems and wind resistance are considerations but often come after adaptability is

confirmed.
