Through the three phases of development, this system helps the teaching and learning of landscape sciences and design niche courses, especially in terms of tree identification and tree species selection process. Moreover, it also serves as a continuous reference for practitioners from all over the world, especially when this system is able to even suggest the suitable tree species for specific areas. A collection of various species of trees that exist in the database are vital assets to the university (University Teknologi MARA) and its community through continuous data storage and hence can diversify its use.
