 +The trees in Regional parks and on Regional roads are signed with a number. Nevertheless, the numbering system is different for trees in parks and trees along regional roads, 'just because the system was already in place' in the two different institutions that manage these trees: 
 +  * regional roads Dept Monuments & Landscapes: f.ex. Av Royal Forest 107.01.156 
 +First number (the ax on which the tree is located, Small ringroad is nr 1); 2nd number (part of the ax on which the tree is located, usually number between 1 and 7); 3rd number (the number of the tree in that segment). The number is attributed by the company that composes the geographical information templates for each tree: [[http://www.eurosense.com/documents/offices/belgium.xml?lang=en-gb|Eurosense Belfotop SA]]. They take aerial pictures with infrared light/camera and analyse the vitality of the trees. All regional road trees are surveilled each 3 years (1/3 a year). From 2013 the trees will have a 4th number, which is the year of plantation.

 The newly planted trees in the city of Brussels have only been registered since 2008. In 2011 the city started an (non-publicly accessible) inventory of all trees in 1000 Brussels. It is not finished yet. The rumour goes there are about 40000 different trees. The newly planted trees in the city of Brussels have only been registered since 2008.
