This study was investigated a optimum planting density of urban public park in seoul. Eight species commonly usd as landscape plants were selected. The survey was conducted to measure hight and width of the trees by five years interval. The results are summarized as follows. The average annual growth rates of the trees after planting were 7.4% in height 11.7% in width. Faster grown trees than average growth rate of the survey tres wee Metasequoia, glyptostroboides and Acer buergerianum, While the slower grown trees were Pinus koraiensis, Ginkgo biloba and Zelkova serrata. The average grown trees were Pinus strobus, Pinus densiflora and Acer palmatum . The planting density of survey area was 0.20tree/$m^2$. The optimum planting density was kept until five years after planting, however overcrowding density was found beyond five years after planting. This study also found the density of ten years after planting reaches about 3 times of optimum density.
