To achieve efficiency in the maintenance of urban trees, it is important to have the inventory of existing trees in each district, as well as the characteristics of growth and development of systems. This information can be obtained in different ways, from the use of basic equipment such as a tape measure, to obtain the circunference and then the diameter, to make visual estimates to obtain the height, to the proper handling of instruments for forest measurement. In the inventory of urban trees in the district of La Victoria, carried out by the author in 2018, obtained a total of 14 642 individuals were obtained among trees, shrubs and palm trees; in 285 public spaces in the district. A methodology was used that considered the use of the winch and visual estimation to obtain the values of diameter and height, respectively. To konw the level of approximation of this methodology used versus the use of forest measurement instruments for diameter and height, a new evalution was made. This study, carried out in 2020 by the author, carried out a new measurement in the three public spaces (park, avenue and street) using the winch and visual use of the three most abundant forest species to compare the results with the values obtained with those of the instruments forest measurement. The results obtained lead us to the conclusion that the average difference between these methodologies is close in the values of diameter (± 2.5 centimeters) and height (± 60 centimeters).
