Surakarta City faces challenges related to limited Green Open Spaces and the increasing occurrence of tree failures due to climate change and deteriorating environmental conditions. During the rainy season of 2023, several significant tree failure events were recorded, with a total of 58 fallen trees by early 2024 with Kedunglumbu and Manahan subdistrict were identified as areas with the highest number of fallen trees. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate tree health and the risk of tree failure in residential areas of these two kelurahans using the Tree Risk Assessment (TRA) method. Observations were conducted on 717 trees from 47 species distributed across both subdistricts. The results showed that most trees (666 trees or 92.9%) were classified as low risk, 35 trees (4.9%) as medium risk, and 16 trees (2.2%) as high risk. Tree species with the highest risk included Kecrutan (Vitex pinnata), Waru (Hibiscus tiliaceus), and Ketapang (Terminalia catappa L).
