BEFORE YOU PLANT A TREE BE SURE TO CONSIDER

URBAN TREES SERIES

WHY do you want to plant a tree?  For shade?  Fruit?  Colour?  Wind screen?  

WILL you have time to nurture the tree (prune, water, fertilize)?

CONFIRM what you are buying – use the latin name.

SOIL TYPE, pH and WATER REQUIREMENTS match the needs of the tree.

CORRECT HARDINESS ZONE rating for the tree?

MATURE SIZE AND HEIGHT:   When MATURE, it WON’T interfere with above / below ground infrastructure (power lines, drainage tiles, city signage, street corners), or encroach on an existing tree or obscure neighbour’s view.
