Abstract: Performance of selected trees on municipal dumpsite at Mumbai has been studied for 30 months and results indicate that the tree survival rate was found to be 50% to 85 % respectively. Amongst the selected plant species, Rain Tree, Gulmohar, Australian Acacia and Neem were observed to be the fastest growing trees. Study shows how a dumpsite could be transformed from a highly unacceptable zone to ecological and environmentally sustainable. Study also attempts to evaluate the trees suitable for urban environment for dumpsite based on their carbon sequestration potential and conforming Sustainable Development Goals
