LECTURE: SELECTING TREES THAT THRIVE IN URBAN AND SUBURBAN LANDSCAPES
Vincent Simeone, Horticulturist, Garden Writer, Lecturer
Choosing the right tree for the right place in urban and suburban landscapes can be very challenging. These landscapes can be quite demanding and only certain species and varieties will prosper in these locations. Often, street trees succumb to the harsh environments along roadways or get too large for areas with limited room. This lecture will offer some exceptional deciduous trees for urban and suburban landscapes such as parks, traffic medians, and along streets. Also discussed will be planning and maintenance practices such as proper planting techniques, pruning, mulching and general aftercare to ensure the success of these plantings.
