However, the heterogeneity of cities makes it difficult to quantitatively assess the integrated impacts of tree planting and street layouts. Scaled outdoor experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of tree plantings on wind and thermal environments in two-dimensional (2D) north-south oriented street canyons with various aspect ratios (building height/street width, AR = H/W = 1, 2, 3; H = 1.2 m). The effects of tree species with similar leaf area index (C. kotoense, big crown; C. macrocarpa, small crown), tree planting densities (ρ = 1, 0.5), and arrangements (double-row, single-row) were considered. Vegetation reduces pedestrian-level wind speed by 29%-70%. For ρ = 1 and single-row arrangement, C. kotoense (big crown) has a better shading effect and decreases wall and air temperature during the daytime by up to 9.4 °C and 1.2 °C, respectively. In contrast, C. macrocarpa (small crown) leads to a temperature increase at the pedestrian level. Moreover, C. kotoense raises the air and wall temperature of the upper urban canopy layer and increases the street albedo during the daytime because of the solar radiation reflected by trees. C. kotoense/C. macrocarpa produces the maximum daytime cooling/warming and nighttime warming of air temperature when H/W = 2 owing to its weaker convective heat transfer. When H/W = 3, the building shade dominates the shading cooling and tree cooling is less significant. When ρ = 1, double-row trees (C. kotoense) reduce wall and air temperatures by up to 10.0 °C and 1.0 °C during the daytime. However, reducing ρ from 1 to 0.5 weakens the capacity of daytime cooling by C. kotoense and the warming effect by C. macrocarpa. Our study quantifies the influence of tree planting and aspect ratios on the thermal environment, which can provide meaningful re
