Yes, The
I was recently asked by a reader
to please write about what, when
and how to plant and use trees in the
home landscape.
By definition, a tree is a woody
plant that has a mature height great
er than 12 feet. As any gardener
knows, many plants considered to
? be shrubs will also fit int.) the "tree"
I category. Nature does not recognize
I our definitions of plants but it cer
tainly helps me to define the size of
plants folks are most interested in.
? Trees are primarily planted to pro
?i vide definition to the landscape,
I shade, windbreaks, cooling and pri
vacy.
Poorly planned or selected tree
plantings can cause monstrous fu
ture problems. I recently visited a
small town where a beautification
group had (unintentionally) planted
trees underneath all the power lines.
Future maintenance costs will be
monumental. For landscape design
purposes, large trees (mature height)
should be planted behind the home
to provide a backdrop for the house.
Large trees in front of the home tend
to dwarf most single story or ranch
style homes. Large trees are not gen
erally appropriate in the front yard
(from a landscape design perspec
tive) unless you live in Tara or a
similar style of residence. If you ab
solutely must have large trees in the
front yard, plant these monsters so
that the canopy frames your home.
Do not plant them directly in front
of the front door, the main entrance.
Use small trees in the front yard.
Use deciduous trees on the south
and southwest exposures. This will
allow more light and warmth during
To Wed Oct. 24

t
the winter and shade during the
summer. Remember to allow at least
25 feet between your house and the
site of a large tree planting.
Dedicate areas to lawn and dedi
cate areas to trees and shrubs. Do
not mix grass and trees unless you
are willing to pay the price of main
tenance and irrigation.
Mulch around trees and shrubs.
Mulch protects plant roots and pro
vides greater soil moisture retention
and a temperature buffer.
In general, the absolute best time
of the year to plant any woody plant
is the autumn. Plantings in October
or November usually have the bene
fit of low water loss, good rainfall or
soil moisture, and warm soil temper
ature for optimum root growth.
Containerized trees or shrubs can be
planted anytime during the year with
success. Balled-and-burlapped trees
;ind shrubs arc best planted in the
autumn, winter and early spring.
I have observed the greatest sur
vival and growth to come from trees
planted in raised beds with the soil
amended with nutrients based upon
a North Carolina Department of
Agriculture (NC'I)A) soil test Con
tact any N.C. Cooperative Extension
office for more details about the
NCDA soil test information.
The best small trees for planting
in eastern North Carolina will de
pend upon your location, soil, water
variability and the immediate envi
ronment around the planting. For ex
ample. only a few of the following
trees w ill be suitable for planting on
the beach front where salt and sand
spray pound unadapted species.
Favored Trees for llome Planting
You will note that my list contains
many native trees. Native trees tend
to pose less insect and disease prob
lems and require less specialized
care than many of the exotics.
Fast growing trees like Bradford
pear (Pyrus callervana). Silver
Maple ( Acer succharinum ) and oth
ers have poor limb structure which
usually leads to limb breakage or
other problems.
Small trees that will do well in
most areas include the Japanese
Maple (Acer palmatum). Eastern
Redbud (Cercis canadensis), Kousa
Dogwood ( Cornus kousa). Flower
ing Dogwood ( Cornus florida).
Smoketree (Cotinus eoggyria),
Washington H.iwihorn ( Crataegus
phaenopyrum ). Loquat ( Eriohotrya
japonica). Carolina Silverbell {I Idle -
sia Carolina). Dahoon holly (Ilex
eassine). Saucer Magnolia ( Magn
olia soulangeana). Carolina Cherry
laurel (Primus caroliniana). and
Pussy Willow (Salix c aprea).
All t>t these trees have their own
special problems and none are total
ly pest or disease free. The loquat is
very cold sensitive and should only
be used in protected areas or along
the coast.
The Southern Wax Myrtle (Myrt
ca cerifera) is a large shrub that can
lie pruned to small tree proportions.
The Dahoon holly and its larger na
tive cousin. American Holly (Ilex
opaca). are superb evergreen trees.
These native plants comes as close
to being disease and insect free as
any plant I know.
Larger trees would include the
Sweet Gum ( l.iquidambar slyraei
flua). Live Oak (Quereus virgini
ana) Willow Oak (Quercus phellos),
l.ongleaf Pine (Pinus palusiris).
Magnolia (Magnolia grandijlora),
and Bald Cypress (Taxodium dis
tichurn).
North Carolin is blessed with
hundreds of species of native trees.
Remember to choose carefully, plant
correctly, and maintain annually
your residential trees. They are an
investment in the environment.
