The thesis deals with the possibility of utilization and sensitivity of the trunk examination by tapping in assessing the defects affecting the stability of the trees. A dendrological survey was conducted in the area of interest and then there were trees selected to assess the presence and extent of the cavity by tapping. The tapping using a small mallet was done on selected trees at the certain level. The tapping was subjectively evaluated by listening. The sound of tapping was recorded using the microphone and the recorded sound was further analyzed. At the same levels like tapping there was used the ArborSonic 3D Acoustic Tomograph to determine the extent of the cavities in the trunk of selected trees. The same extent of observation was also performed on a sample of a trunk with and without cavity in laboratory conditions. The values obtained were compared with each other for the purpose of verifying usability by tapping using a small mallet while assessing the trees to determine the presence of the cavity and its extent
