The economic values of the trees planted in Tun Abdul Rahman Yaakub road were estimated using Thyer Tree Valuation Method. Trees species surveyed were Khaya senegalensis, Samanea saman, Peltophorum pterocarpum, Pterocarpus indicus, Swietenia macrophylla, Tabebuia Wallid and Lagerstroemia jloribunda." Approximately 26% of trees heights were below 15m and 14% were more than 21 meters. The distribution of trees dbh showed nearly 60% of tree planted in Tun Abdul Rahman Yaakub are in functional period (> 77cm). Khaya senegalensis has the highest mean economic value estimated at RM 165473.65 followed by Samanea saman which estimated at RM 115 468.43. The lowest estimated value of tree species surveyed was Peltophorum pterocarpum valuated at RM 5763.15.
