Things to Consider When Selecting or Planting Trees

-Select trees rated to a USDA zone 6 or lower.
-Allow enough room for the tree
-Select a tree based on site conditions and available space.
-Plant trees half their mature spread away from buildings, pools or out buildings.
-Shop for trees with no crossing branches or branches growing inward.
-To help avoid surface roots, provide additional water in summer to establish trees with deeper roots.
-For the health of an urban forest it is best to have tree diversity (use an assortment of species) for your yard, project or sub-division.
-If a tree is stressed, it will cause it to produce more seeds than usual.
