(Kiara paying) and Syzygium campunalalum Korth (Eugenia). Most of the trees were still young, with mean DBH ranging from 3.8cm to 36.4cm and total height ranging from 1.6m to 17.0m. The young age and the poor health of some trees did not allow the trees to effectively perform their functions of providing beauty, shade, lowering local temperature, providing habitat for birds, insects and small mammals, and reducing noise and air pollutants.
