Trees for Tennessee Landscapes - Choosing the Right Tree

Publication Date

7-1998

Abstract

Trees enhance the beauty and value of homes, streets and communities. However, trees planted in the wrong place can cause property damage and become a detriment rather than an asset. Planning the location and species of a tree will ensure that the tree will be an asset and not grow into a hazard or a nuisance.

“What tree should I plant?” is a question asked frequently by homeowners. The answer to the question depends on several factors:

1. Purpose for planting the tree.

2. Soil conditions.

3. Tree location, the right place.

4. Species growth and form, the right tree.

5. Undesirable species traits.
