However, the application of mycorrhizal in the area of tree nurturing is still very limited. This study reviewed the effectiveness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and their possibilities in enhancing the health of urban trees. Further investigation was also done to identify specific tree species which can benefit from the symbiotic relationship. Then, discussion was carried out on the commercial production and practical application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the conservation of urban trees nowadays. From the site survey, it was found urban trees were majorly in poor drainage and ventilation environment. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi was not exist in the anoxic environment. Therefore, the first and foremost step to do is to improve the ventilation and drainage conditions of urban trees, follow by application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. In addition, production and commercialization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in Taiwan, apart from the control for stable mass production methods, it is also important to distort concepts of user''s that need to be corrected for a wider application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
