MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdlori. Or. Sunday, April 24, 1960 .3 . : -i! jl School Mevs Trees . . . Br JOHN CRIBBLE (Edilor'i nol.i The fol lowing commenla on ireea, particularly those adapta bla to ttreet uia In Medford, hava been prepared by John Gribble, well known re tired forealer, end will, be run in a seriea during the 'tree planting season" here, low under way.) Kwanian Japanese Flowering Cherry This is a magnificent pink flowering cherry. Grown on a 6 foot stalk it reaches a height of 22 to 25 feet. The upward branching limbs, sweeping outward and down ward, when loaded and smoth ered in soft pink blossoms, is superb. The summer leaves are a nice green, which in autumn change to brilliant crimson and sunset shades. The linv ited height and spread of this tree, make it both functional and ornamental for street use and the low type of home symmetry. The Kawnzan cherry will be used on Berkeley Way, For tune, Hybiscus, Lenora, Mon roe, and Edgemont St., plant ed 40 to 50 feet apart; on Reddy st. and Eastwood ave., (Cul de sac end of Fortune,) 50 to 60 feet apart. Edge mont is already 3A planted, due largely to the diligent efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Murl Nordstrum and Mrs. Dale Jefferson. This tree is grown much in Belgium, Holland, England and Ireland. Portland, Ore., has some beautiful street plantings. Given Consideration Trees in cities, large cities, used to be given much con sideration by man. Years ago four rows of elms stood along Broadway in Columbus, Ohio, but they succumbed to "pro gress and civilization." High buildings, automobiles, crowds of people, polluted air, desert pavement of walks and streets, robbed "God's Tem ples" of their necessities to live. A blank was left. For many years the "Char ter Oak" stood on almost sacred ground, protected, but surrounded at a few feet dis tance, from its pavement enemy. A Redwood between here and Portland stands on its own deeded property. Many cities, some large cities, are planting street trees. Medford is fortunate in planning for a city of beauty. The Kwanzan cherry may be seen in many places about the valley. Some nice ones are Southwest of the high school, near Oakdale ave.; Hawthorne park, 18 North Modoc ave., and at the Hanley place on Ross lane. Pink and white flowering dogwoods may be seen on Glen Oak ct., 32 North Peach st, and else where about town, and the redbuds are still prime.
