PREFERRED TREES FOR TREE LAWN PLANTING

JAPANESE FLOWERING CHERRY  (Prunus sps.)

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)
