ri <br />for <br />CHOOSING THE RIGHT TREE <br />The following is a list of hardy trees, tolerant of urban environ- <br />ments, that would be acceptable under South Bend City Ordinance No. 3425 <br />which prohibits planting of the following species: Catalpa, Soft or Silver <br />Maple, Box Elder, Poplar, Cottonwood, Tree of Heaven, Birch, Horse Chestnut, <br />Willow, Mulberry, Chinese Elm (which I believe is confused with the Siberian <br />Elm in this case), Ailanthus, Mountain Ash, Carolina Poplar, Basswood and <br />all nut bearing trees. <br />Form refers to the shape that the tree will have. The small image <br />refers to the tree at 15 years and the large image at maturity. The branch <br />pattern shows what the silhouette will be in winter. <br />The botanical name is the one to use when purchasing a tree to insure <br />that the proper species is being selected. The common names can be confused <br />and this type of confusion could result in delivery of the wrong tree. Any <br />reputable nursery will use the botanical name to insure that the proper <br />product is being delivered. <br />Some basic comments referingto fall color, tolerance, any disease <br />problem oroutstanding characteristics are provided to give you a little <br />information to start'with. Your choice of nurseries can give you more <br />specific information. <br />BOTANICAL NAME <br />Height of 65' or More - Tree Lawn of No Less Than 6' <br />ple Acer saccharum Yellow in Fall -Not for Street <br />White Oak <br />Sweetgum. <br />let Oak <br />-Fin k <br />W2 Oa <br />1 <br />English Oak <br />Red Oak <br />Japanese Scholar Tree <br />ttleleaf Linden <br />-'-S1Zt'M iLi <br />Ginkgo biloba <br />Liquidambar styraciflua <br />Liriodendron tulipfera. <br />Quercus alba <br />Quercus coccinea <br />Quercus palustris <br />Quercus robur <br />Quercus rubra <br />Sophora japonica <br />Tilia cordata <br />Yellow*in Fall -Light Shade <br />Yellow -Scarlet in Fall <br />Too Large for Street <br />Move Only When Young <br />Less Pollution Tolerant <br />Chlorosis prone <br />Russet in Fall <br />Messy w/ Fruit&Flowers like <br />Crabapples (Malus) <br />0 .
