What is a Street Tree? What are desired qualities? Drought tolerant,
Salt tolerant,
Pollution tolerant?
The point of this series of posts is to gather YOUR opinions and highlight a dozen trees for your consideration as a ‘Street Tree’.
In my recent walk from my car to the office, I contemplated how we could be so mean to trees. Surrounded by concrete.
Acting as a sump for rainwater.
Next to the street…...and heat!
But trees really beautify our city streets.
So, I’m asking for input. E-mail me your favorite variety or two of ‘Street Trees’ you enjoy. I will highlight 12 over 12 weeks. E-mail your selection to me at dehaas.2@osu.edu . I’ll pick 12 worthy of highlighting. And remember, there is really no such thing as a ‘Street Tree’; it’s really ‘Right Tree, Right Place’.
