Tree Planting
If you haven’t decided on what tree you want to plant
here are some questions you might want to answer beforehand:
- 1.
What purpose will this tree be used for? For beautification,
- screening
of sights or sounds? Shade
and energy conversation or for wildlife habitat?
- 2.
Is the species appropriate for your area?
3. How big will it get? How wide will it
get?
4. What is the average life expectancy
of the tree?
5. Does it have any ornamental value such
as leaf color,
- flowers,
or fruits?
- 6.
Does it have any particular insect, disease, or other
- problems
reducing its usefulness?
- 7.
How common is the species in your neighborhood? Some
- species
are overplanted. Increasing
he natural diversity will help limit the opportunity for
a single pest to destroy all plantings.
- 8.
Is the tree evergreen or deciduous? Evergreens provide
- cover
and shade year round, and are
more
effective as a barrier against wind and noise. Deciduous
trees give summer shade but allow the winter sun to shine
in.
