Garden Notes
By
C. B. CORDY
County Extension
Agent for Horticulture
The nest two weeks will be
an - excellent time in which to
plant shade trees. As these shade
trees will grow for a great many
years, considerable care should
be exercised in the choice of a
tree which will be satisfactory.
As any large tree will uproot
sidewalks and other cement
structures, they should not be
planted within 10 feet of con
crete work. If a tree, must be
planted near concrete work,
select a small one which will not
uproot it.
Some trees such as willow,
maple and sycamore have many
surface roots so are undesirable
if it is desired to grow flowers
or shrubs close to them. Poplar
and cottonwood trees, in many
cases, will send up large lum
bers of root suckers.
Building Hazard
These trees also get very large
and eventually will be a hazard
to nearby buildings. These trees
should never be planted in urban
areas and will eventually prove
unsatisfactory in most rural
areas.
Silver maple and sycamore are
fast growing, large spreading
trees wkh shallow root systems.
Sweet gum and tulip trees are
large pyramidal trees with deep
er root systems. Satisfactory
small trees would be horsechest
nut, purple leaf plum, hawthorn
and flowering cherry.
Elm trees should be avoided
unless the home owner is willing
to face the probable necessity of
an annual spray for the control
of aphis and leaf beetle.
There are a large number of
satisfactory evergreen trees, but
large forest trees such as pine
and douglas fir should be avoided
in town as these become too
large and are a hazard to sur
rounding buildings.
