The upright growing Amanagowa, or “Milky Way,” forms a slender tree to 25 feet high. Kwanzan is an upsweeping broad-headed tree now being grafted on 6-foot stems for use as a street tree for a 20 foot maximum height.
The flowering cherries are famed for their spectacular spring display. There are several distinct forms available. Amanagowa has pinkish white flowers and good fall color. Kwanzan has deep pink flowers. Also, there are light pink, white, and yellowish flowered varieties.
KOBUS AND ANISE MAGNOLIAS (Magnolia Kobus and Magnolia Salicifolia)
As a street tree, Kobus will probably never grow taller than 20 or 25 feet. Plant in tree lawn at least 6 feet wide. Has dark green foliage. Kobus is a mass of small white flowers before foliage comes on. Is subject to scale and may need spraying.
SALICIFOLIA
Is a myramidal form; plant in tree lawn at least 5 feet wide on streets of shallow setback. Bears white, fragrant masses of flowers about 5 inches across. Leaves, when crushed, give off an odor of anise.
IDAHO LOCUST (Robinia, pseudoacacia Idaho)
Grows to 25 feet. Has performed well on streets. Gives light, lacy shade. In June, it is covered with panicles of rose-pink flowers. Susceptible to borers which can be controlled with a dormant DDT spray. Has brittle branches.
WASHINGTON HAWTHORN (Crataegus phaenopyrum)

KOREAN EVODIA (Evodia hupenhensis)
Grows to 25 feet. Well-adapted to small streets and home grounds. Used quite successfully on streets. White flowers appear in late August in flat corymbs like the elderberry. Black, shining seeds are small and attractive. Shining, leathery, compound leaves give it a clean appearance all summer. Grows well in poor soil.
GOLDEN RAIN (Koelreuteria paniculata)
Grows to 25 feet. Round-headed tree. Bears yellow flowers in mid-July. Withstands drought conditions. Tolerant of any but acid soil. One of the best small trees for street or home use. May break in storm.
PAUL’S SCARLET HAWTHORN (Crataegus oxyacantha Pauli)
Grows to 25 feet high. Spectacular red flowers in early June. Must be sprayed with nicotine or Malathion spray to control aphids, but its beauty and utility outweigh its maintenance needs. Has been called a superlative ornamental tree for home or street use.
LAVELLE HAWTHORN (Crataegus Laveallei)
Grows to 25 feet. White flowers in early June. Has coral berries. Deep green foliage turns brilliant plum color in early autumn. Unexcelled for controlled street planting under severe restrictions.
RUBY RED HORSE CHESTNUT (Aesculus carnea briotti)

CHINESE CORK TREE (Phellodendron amurense)
Grows to 25 feet with 30-foot spread. Umbrella-topped. Heavy trunk development as tree matures makes 5-foot tree lawns necessary. Should be planted 45 to 55 feet apart on streets with wide setbacks. Tree does well in heavy or light soil, withstands drought and city air, and is pest-free. Turns lemon yellow in fall. Small, black fruit persists through winter and attracts birds.
SASSAFRAS (Sassafras albidum)

SHINGLE OAK (Quercus imricaria)
Seldom grows to more than 30 feet under cultivation. Plant in 5-foot tree lawns at 50-foot intervals. Laurel-shaped leaves turn to rust red in fall. In same family as pin oak which should be planted in heavy soil. Plant shingle oak in sandy soil.
SCANLON RED MAPLE (Acer rubrum pyramidal, var: Scanlon)
Grows to 35 feet with 15-foot spread. Use on narrow streets. Pyramidal form with no heavy top exposed to wind damage. Red fall color. Low maintenance as street tree.
UPRIGHT GOLDENRAIN (Koelreuteria paniculata fastigiata)
Grows to 20 feet with 8-foot spread. Narrow form makes it unexcelled for street tree in extremely narrow conditions. Yellow-flowered.
UPRIGHT EUROPEAN BIRCH (Betula pendula fastifiata)
Grows to 30 feet with 8-foot spread. Variant of the white birch. Bark color makes tree interesting through winter. Spray trunk in early June with DDT to control bronze birch borer.

ALMIRA NORWAY MAPLES (Acer platanoides globosum, var: Almira)
Grows to 16 feet with 16-foot spread. Superior to common globe type in use for years. Forms informal roundhead and is faster growing. Use in streets with low wires and shallow setback. There are about 30 varieties of Norway Maple, including Purple King, another recommended variety, which has red leaves all summer and grows to 25 feet.
GLOBE HEAD ASH (Fraxium excelsior umbraculifera)
