The Right Tree for the Right Place

Online bulletin containing sizing and shape guides that include illustrations to assist in selecting the proper tree for a site.

"Anyone can list the many benefits of trees – shade, beauty, windbreak, privacy, cleaner air, less noise, less glare, and higher property values to name a few. But the key to these benefits is to select the right tree and plant it in the right place. The right tree in the right place not only assures a lifetime of satisfaction, it also keeps maintenance costs low.

This bulletin poses the questions of environmental and tree factors to consider when selecting the right tree for your landscape."  Includes illustrations as well as a quiz to check your knowledge of urban forestry and tree species selection.
