Recommendations from the nursery industry and from the academic experts on the best tree types have adapted over time. The current revision to the FTSTC Approved Street Tree planting list is the desire to match the general conditions found throughout the Township and the three different potential growth space categories – Shade Trees, Flowering Trees and Fastigiate (Upright or Columnar) Trees – which should meet the differing situations found in many subdivisions.

Our trees are grown from specially selected nursery seeds. We move the trees from the nursery to the field for planting in June-July when the rainy season which begins in May is well underway.

Trees can be grown from seed, transplanted from crown land (with a permit) or purchased from a nursery. Planting stock is a critical component of agroforestry developments. See the 'Getting Started with Agroforestry' area of InfoBasket for much more information on this topic.

BOB: While there are a few trees (Oaks and "fleshy rooted" trees) that should only be dug in the spring, most plants today are containerized or balled-and-burlapped (B+B) and can be planted anytime of the year. [More about shrub planting and tree planting]

Riparian forest buffers are areas that border bodies of water and should include a diversity of native, noninvasive woody trees, and shrubs (multiple species including hardwoods). Manage newly established buffers to allow the establishment of an organic duff layer and understory vegetation. The Zone 3 (outermost zone) filter strip may include warm season grasses. For fact sheets on riparian buffers, visit www.agnr.umd.edu/MCE/Publications/PDFs/FS724.pdf.

Yes you can! However, to remove significant tonnages of CO2 from the atmosphere, larger programs applying professional treatments and having adequate resourcing and follow-up yield the greatest climate mitigation benefits. As well, the benefits will be measurable and predictable.

Native broadleaf trees which are of local provenance to the planting site. To find out which native trees have been recorded in your postcode area. Many specialist tree nurseries now supply local provenance stock. As a general rule we tend to advise planting smaller trees perhaps 45-60cm or 60-90cm as they are young vigorous plants at this size and can cope well with transplanting. They also have the advantage of costing a lot less so you can buy more trees for your money.

In either early Spring or throughout the Fall. The reason is that the soil temperature is low and the tree's roots can easily acclimate to the new soil where it will live for the rest of its life without stress. It takes about 30-45 days for a tree to root-in and begin living on its own without the additional care required to sustain its life. If a drought would occur, a minimum of 25 gallons or 1" of water would be required per tree per week to keep them alive.

Rosboro replants harvested sites with sufficient numbers of seedlings to far exceed Oregon Forest Practices Act requirements of four trees planted for each tree harvested. As they grow, we fertilize them, control competing vegetation and thin the trees to stimulate growth. These methods ensure the future viability of our timberland resource for generations to come.

If there is a ditch along the road in front of your property you should not fill it in even if it doesn't drain water along the road. The purpose of most roadside ditches is to prevent water from pooling on the roadway during or after a storm, to provide an area for snow storage from snowplowing operations, and to lower the water table beneath the roadbed.

Low-growing trees with a maximum mature height of 25 feet may be planted in the utility right of way. The low-growing trees shall not block access to the electrical structures in the event of any repair work. Ask for Aquila's free brochure, The Right Tree in the Right Place, for information on wire-friendly trees.

We have a number of programs with a tree-planting focus. The tree planting season runs from the fall through the early spring months.

Yes, but you must use what are termed "containerised trees". These are trees grown in pots, such as you would see in a garden centre. These trees are more expensive to buy and require greater care after planting, especially watering.

The selection of broadleaf trees is based upon their suberior ability to store carbon. All trees store carbon, but broadleaves ensure the maximum sequestration per acre. Given the availability of land and the need for maximum storage broadleaves are the most efficient method of tree storage. All the trees planted are native to their environment.

Come to one of our planting, tree care or training events. Check our planting schedule, summer care events and training events schedules for details and directions, or call our hotline at 503-284-TREE (8733).

We purchase the majority of our trees from a variety of local nurseries. We purchase the best possible tree stock to ensure survival. If you live in Portland, call the Urban Forestry Division at (503) 823-4489 for information on city ordinances and to check if a permit has been issued for tree pruning or removal. If you live elsewhere, check our advocacy page for the office that oversees urban forestry issues.

We offer a comprehensive planting service, depending on the location of the site and the number of trees and shrubs that require planting. Please contact us with your specific requirements and we will be delighted to provide you with a quote.

NO, gardens require that the soil be constantly tiled, and that adds unnecessary water (Rain, Watering, and there are pathogens that are associated with wastewater that are harmful) to the treatment system. Tree roots tend to block off the flow of water through the soil pores and clog up the system.

A permit, which is issued by the Forestry Supervisor, is required to plant trees on the right-of-way. Anyone wanting to plant trees on the right-of-way will need to have their plans reviewed and approved prior to planting. More...

Finca Leola typically plants 816 trees per hectare so that the first harvest will be large enough trees to have value as lumber.

Never transplant ornamental trees and shrubs any deeper than they were already planted. After digging the planting hole only as deep as the root ball, backfill around the root ball using existing soil so that the plant will sit in the hole at the same level it was growing in the container. Research indicates that the addition of organic amendments is not needed.

There are just too many evergreen species to list. The conifers you can read about on this site are a start. You can also do a search on the Internet for conifers and evergreens. Remember, not all evergreen trees are conifers so you'll need to search for both. Here are two links that will get you started. They both tell about the same types of trees, but one is for older students/adults and the other is for younger students.

There are about 750 types of trees in North America and about 100,000 in the world. Many of those are endangered. Those numbers count both conifer (cone bearing) trees and deciduous trees. You can find the names of many conifers on this site ... just click Tree Types in the Elementary section. Conifer trees that are grown on farms for the holidays take 7 to 14 years to grow.

The Arbor Day Foundation does not condone the practice of tree topping. Topping creates many problems for trees including insect infestations and diseases, weak limbs, shock and starvation to the tree and poor aesthetic qualities. For more information on tree topping, please contact Member Services for Tree City USA Bulletin #8 "Don't Top Trees". This bulletin is available for $3.

Generally, no. Almost all easement documents give TVA the perpetual right to keep the right-of-way clear of trees so that it can build, protect, operate, maintain, and rebuild transmission lines. Therefore, trees should not be grown within the right-of-way; however, in appropriate instances, TVA is willing to allow landowners to plant low-growing dogwood and redbud trees within right-of-way at locations agreed on by the landowners and TVA.

If stormwater detention basins cannot be included in regular maintenance because of wet or soggy bottoms

The Town has ordinances, which prohibit certain types of trees being planted along the right-of-way which may damage utilities or create a hazard. Contact Town Hall at (360) 466-3125 for further information.
