4 Introduction What is a Street Tree? The Community Forestry program was established to enhance the quality of life in Moscow by promoting the planting, protection, and care of Moscow s trees. Street trees are a major focus of the program as they provide a multitude of community benefits in terms of economics, the environment, and health. However, it is important to sustain our community forest for future generations, and this is becoming increasingly problematic with changes in climate and the uncertainty of invasive pests. To this end, tree diversity is necessary for a healthy forest. The more different kinds of trees that are planted, the less vulnerable the overall community forest will be to future environmental events. This guide provides recommendations for selecting street trees based on the above concepts. Street trees are defined as trees that will be planted along a street right-of-way, within the public domain. Care, maintenance, and obtaining the necessary permits for removals and planting of street trees in the public right of way is the responsibility of the adjacent property owner. This includes costs associated with removal, replacement, pruning, and pest control under Moscow City Code (5-8-10). The trees listed in this guide book are not meant to be all-inclusive, yet offer many choices. Featured trees were selected based on their adaptability to our climate, resistance to environmental factors, attractiveness, and size range. This guide also highlights: Benefits of planting large street trees Undesirable characteristics to avoid for street trees A flow chart to help you select the best tree for your space Spacing and location requirements per City code Planting, watering, and post care tips The provided information is intended to help ensure your tree s survival while also promoting sound community forestry practices and adhering to City code.

5 A Long Term Approach Plant Large Trees There is an unfortunate trend in cities with urban forests to plant only small trees which can lead to what some call the dwarfing of the urban forest. If you reach the recommendation of selecting a tree from the Large Trees section, congratulations you can help prevent the dwarfing of Moscow s urban forest! By planting large trees where adequate space is available, you can help perpetuate the following benefits for future generations: Provide shade and reduce energy cooling costs for nearby homes Provide cover and habitat for wildlife Reduce heat island effect by cooling asphalt and extending pavement life Reduce storm water runoff Encourage alternative transport Improve air quality Improve property values Promote physical and mental well being Ideal locations for large maturing street trees include centered in a planting strip that is more than six feet wide (pictured top left) or on a lawn-attached curb (pictured top right). Be sure to consider the spread of a tree s branches. Never plant a large tree if overhead wires are present. 2
6 Selecting the Right Tree for the Right Space Use the flow chart below to help you determine which category to select a tree from. Remember, street tree permits are required for planting a tree in a street right-ofway and can be obtained for free at the Moscow Parks and Recreation office or online. Completed forms can be mailed to Moscow Parks & Recreation, P.O. Box 9203; faxed to ; or delivered in person to 1724 East F. Street. Once your permit is approved by the Community Forestry Administrator, you may secure your desired tree and plant it. Please call the Parks and Recreation office at or if you have questions concerning the permit or planning process. Always check for underground utilities by calling 811 at least two business days before you dig. 3
7 Street Tree Spacing & Location Requirements You ve obtained your free street tree permit and have chosen an appropriate tree given your location s constraints. Use this diagram from the City of Moscow Arboricultural and Specifications Guide, Moscow City Code (5-8-10), for further spacing and location requirements. Tree Lawn Detached Sidewalk Hedges are not allowed between the sidewalk and the curb and must be planted at least 5 behind the sidewalk. Municipal ordinance requires that all street trees be planted and maintained to meet public requirements. No tree plantings are allowed within this 40 sight triangle. Shrubs shall not exceed 36 in height above street level. 30 minimum spacing for large trees 10 minimum spacing for small trees Attached Sidewalk Public Right-of-Way (varies) Property Line 4
8 Selection of Featured Trees Selecting a tree for your home or property is one of the most important decisions you can make. Most trees can outlive the people who plant them, therefore the impact of this decision is one that can influence a lifetime. Trees selected for this guide have the following characteristics that are essential for them to establish and thrive in an urban streetscape: Drought tolerance Resistance to serious insect pests and disease Strong branching and structure Rounded, oval, upright forms Not all trees were destined for a street s right-of-way. The following species are not suitable street trees due to undesirable characteristics. Species Characteristic Poplar, Cottonwood, Willow, Maple (Silver and Box Elder) Elm (American and European), Ash (white, green, blue, and black), White-barked Birch Honey-locust (thorny varieties), Russianolive, Black walnut, Fruit trees Weak branching, high susceptibility to breakage from wind, ice, and snow Disease and pests (e.g. Dutch Elm Disease and emerald ash borer ) Litter and thorn problems Evergreens, Multi-stem tree forms, Weeping forms, Low-spreading forms Quaking Aspen, White poplar Norway Maple Maple (Red, Japanese), Katsura tree Sweeping branches that obstruct vehicle and pedestrian views Invasive spreading from root suckers Shallow roots that cause buckling and deterioration of sidewalks Low tolerance to drought 5
9 Tree Availability & Cultivars A major emphasis of this publication is to introduce residents to new species and new cultivars of those species that can thrive in the difficult environment of a streetscape. Many of these featured trees are available at local nurseries, but some may need to be special ordered due to limited inventory. It is hoped that demand from consumers like yourself, coupled with advocacy from the Moscow Tree Commission, will incentivize nurseries and growers into widening their tree inventory. As you search for a tree that fits your needs, you will see the word cultivar come up in some of the descriptions. A cultivar is a cultivated variety of a species that has been produced in cultivation by selective breeding. This breeding process is targeted at developing a tree with an improved and/or desirable characteristic(s). Cultivars not only perform better, but are more predictable with growing habits than their species counterpart in aspects like tree form, drought tolerance, flower blooms, pest resistance, etc. An example of a listed cultivar would be Bonfire Sugar Maple, Acer saccharum Bonfire. In this case Sugar Maple is the species and Bonfire is the name of the cultivar, bred for its wider environmental tolerance and brilliant fall color. 6
10 Best Planting Practices Before planting, be sure to have all underground utilities located prior to digging. Use the following steps to help your newly chosen street tree establish itself and thrive in its new environment. 1. Dig a hole at least twice as wide as the spread of the roots or diameter of the root ball, but no deeper than the root ball is tall. 2. Break up the soil outside the root ball. Since roots grow wide and shallow, this will ensure the roots will have an easier time penetrating and growing into the adjacent soil. 3. Planting for different tree types (see pictures below and instructions on the following page for each type): A. Container Grown B. Bare Root C. Balled & Burlapped 7
11 Best Planting Practices A. Container Grown Remove the tree from the container. If the roots are bound in a tight circle, uncoil them. Some roots may have to be cut to loosen the mass. Place the tree in the hole so that the top of the root ball is slightly higher than the surrounding ground. Adjust the tree until it is standing straight up and down. B. Bare Root Keep the bare roots moist at all times. Cut away any broken or unhealthy looking roots. Construct a 6 to 8 soil cone at the bottom of the hole (see circled area). Spread the roots evenly over the cone. The soil line on the trunk should be slightly higher than the surrounding ground. Add soil over the roots until the tree is straight and can stand on its own. C. Balled & Burlapped Place the tree in the hole so that the top of the root ball is slightly higher than the surrounding ground. Adjust the position of the tree so that it is straight stabilize it by adding soil around the bottom of the ball. Be gentle. Remove the twine from the trunk. Loosen the burlap and cut away the top 1/3 of the burlap and wire basket. 4. Backfill the planting hole with the soil that was originally dug out. When the hole is half filled, lightly tamp the soil around the roots or root ball to stabilize the tree. Add water to settle the soil and remove air pockets. Continue to backfill until hole is filled. Water again until soil is saturated. If the planting site is located on a slope, a raised ring of soil can be made around the hole to create a water-catching basin. 5. Place 2 to 4 inches of mulch (wood chips, bark chips, pine needles, etc.) over the planting site. Mulching provides multiple benefits for successful tree survival, such as improving root growth, conserving soil moisture, moderating soil temperature, reducing competition from weeds and keeping a mower deck away from the young tree trunk. 6. Most planted trees do not need staking. Root systems develop more strongly if the tree is allowed to sway in the wind. Stake the tree only for protection, such as in exposed, windy areas. Use two stakes opposite each and secure with slightly flexible material. Do not use wire or hosing material which can cut and depress into the trunk. Remove after the first year of growth. See the following page for additional guidance if your tree needs to be staked. 8
12 Best Planting Practices 2 to 4 inch (5 to 10 cm) layer of mulch Keep mulch 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) back from trunk Trunk flare Use two opposing, flexible ties when staking is necessary. Ties should be placed on the lower half of the tree and allow trunk movement. Gently pack backfill, using water to settle soil around the root ball. Remove containers, wrappings, wires, and ties. Set ball on firmly packed soil to prevent settling. 9
13 Caring for Your Tree Watering: All trees require supplemental watering for root establishment. Regular watering during the first three years is crucial to your tree s survival, and periodic, deep watering will help ensure its establishment. It is not recommended to rely solely on rainfall or lawn watering. Use the following guidelines to establish your tree and help it thrive: Apply water to all areas above growing roots and just beyond planting site radius to encourage root growth. Tree roots have the potential to grow far beyond the drip line, however roots only grow where the soil is moist. Roots do not grow through dry soil. Apply enough water to penetrate the soil to a depth of 18 to 24. This is where a majority of absorbing roots grow. Keep the soil around the tree moist, but not wet. Use a garden hose set at a trickle for best results. Check how deep the water has penetrated the soil. A metal rod or root feeder shaft will easily penetrate moist soil, but will have a difficult time with dry soil. Water at least once a week during the growing season. Adjust as needed to allow for soil type and seasonal condition. Water more often during periods of drought and hot weather. Pruning: Limit pruning to the removal of dead, broken, or crossing branches. Remove a branch just outside the branch collar (swollen area between trunk and branch or main stem). Never leave stubs or flush cuts. It is unnecessary and sometimes harmful to apply wound dressing or tree paint to the cut area after pruning. During its early growth, a young tree will also need training so that it may develop strongly attached branches. Fertilizing: It is recommended to not fertilize your tree during the first year after planting. If the tree is showing signs of nutrient deficiency, contact the Community Forestry Administrator for advice. Insects & Disease: Most problems with newly planted trees can be linked to improper watering, inferior tree stock, or a difficult planting site insects and disease cause the least problems. Keeping the tree in good health is the best protection against pests. If you suspect that the planted tree is suffering from insects or disease, contact the Community Forestry Administrator. 10
