Street Tree Selection

A job took us to a wholesale nursery on Long Island to hand select street trees for a local municipality. The nursery's specialty is tree stock that is specifically grown for placement in cities, towns, and villages in the tri-state area.

As you can see from the length of the trunks, these trees are grown and pruned to be suitable specimens for planting near pedestrian traffic. Not one low hanging branch can be found here.

Since much of the plant material available locally is shipped from the south and west, it was great to see a nearby nursery growing a wide variety of strong, healthy trees.
