Abstract: It is the responsibility of land managers to ensure safety of users. This obligation also applies to public administrators responsible for urban forests.
People professionally dealing with trees have often conflicting opinions about the use of modern technology for responsible safety recommendations. Knowledge of its applicability
is crucial especially for making decisions about mature, ancient and veteran trees. The most popular devices have their strengths and weaknesses. The ability to use it without proper
interpretation of the obtained results may lead to wrong conclusions and thus the decisions made. The work was based on analyses of the applicability of selected methods and was supported
by two case study examples from practice. The use of diagnostic equipment has been discussed. Instrumental diagnosis supports the correct assessment of trees, but requires a sufficient
knowledge and experience in selection of the needed information and interpretation of obtained results.
