Synopsis
Excerpt from A Shade Tree Guide
This bulletin will be helpful to municipal authorities and to those who wish to maintain vigorous, attractive trees on their properties. Few people realize that any tree standing beside a sidewalk, or even on a lawn, is out of its element (the forest), and that the strains and dangers to which it is subject must be counteracted in every way possible. The advice given refers particularly to New Jersey; it is applicable to most of the eastern United States.
The value of shade trees. Tho it is now well established that a Shade tree has a value beyond that of its wood, or the cost of plant ing a new one, and that neither individuals nor public service agencies can injure one without becoming liable for damages, it is advisable always to avoid such troubles.
Street trees and lawn trees. It is needful to distinguish between street trees and lawn trees because only a few deciduous species, and no evergreens, can be maintained on narrow paved ways, whereas a lawn admits a variety of trees and Shrubs, deciduous and evergreen, that is limited only by space and climatic conditions. On streets and lawns close to the sea the available kinds of trees are few, and extreme care in their selection and nurture is required.
