Start Date: Apr 01, 2005
End Date: Mar 31, 2010

Objective:
To evaluate U.S. National Arboretum releases and selections for suitability for street and utility line plantings.

Approach:
Selected trees with potential value for street and utility line plantings will be planted on streets and under utility lines in various municipalities for on-going evaluation of resistance to biotic and environmental stresses associated with these applications. Trees will also be evaluated for growth rate, canopy development and architecture, and for aesthetic considerations.
