Where to Plant Low Zone Trees
When you are planting new trees there are many things that
you need to keep in mind, but sadly a home owner sees the small tree they are
planting without looking into the future and that can result in trees having to
be removed when they are mature. Better planning when you first plant your
trees can ensure your trees have a long and healthy life where they are
initially planted.
There are three zones of trees – tall, medium, and low. Each
zone of tree has an ideal place where it should be planted. Let’s look at where
the best place is to plant low zone trees.
The low zone extends 15 feet on either side of the utility wires.
Trees with a mature height of less than 20 feet can be planted anywhere throughout
this zone, this includes street tree plantings under the utility lines since
these trees will not grow tall enough to interfere with the utility lines. Low
zone trees are also recommended for areas where the soil volumes are limited and
therefore they are unable to support tall or medium zone trees.
Taking the time to make sure you place the correct trees in
the right space will provide you with great beauty and it ensures your trees
longevity. Proper placement of trees in the medium zone will add value to your
home and it will reduce your tree care maintenance costs, reduce the risk of
damage to your home and property, and reduce the likelihood of any injuries. If
you are unsure about the best way to proceed with tree planting call your local
professional tree care company or arborist, who can help you make the right
choices now to ensure you get to enjoy the beauty of these large trees as they
grow.
