To: Cypress Isles Board of Directors
From: Jean Thomsin
Date: 1/18/05
Subject: Street Trees for Cypress Isles
Notes of meeting with Brent McAllister on 1/10/05
Joka & Jean Thomsin

We told Brent that most of the Winged Elms we planted in May 2002 have not done well through the hurricanes. The trees still standing (in the ground) are either bent over or supported by stakes. Very few seem to do OK and there is a lot of frustration among the homeowners.
Some people suggest that we forget about planting trees between sidewalk and road altogether.
Brent can sympathize with that approach given the difficulties we encountered.

Brent has no silver bullet for the type of street tree that would thrive in the very difficult soil conditions in Cypress Isles, and for that matter most of Waterford Lakes.

However, if we want to try again he offers the following suggestions in order of preference:
(The first 3 trees can be obtained in 15 gallon size free of charge from him through his "streetscape" program)

1 Bald Cypress (e.g. for Main street: Spring Island Way)
2 Sand Live Oak (for Side Street)
3 Red Maple 'Florida Flame' (for Side Street)
4 Crape Myrtle (for cul-de-sac like within Divine Circle)

" The Bald Cypress is a native tree that can live in practically all soil conditions and it would be appropriate as selection for "Cypress Isles". Furthermore it is 'low maintenance'.
" The Sand Live Oak is a smaller version of the Live Oak and will not reach the enormous dimensions of the Live Oak.
" The Red Maple 'Florida Flame" variety is quite popular in Orange County
" The Crape Myrtle can not be obtained via the "streetscape" program, since it is no (street) tree. However, it can be beautiful in limited use as street tree in e.g. a cul-de-sac (Divine Circle)

Native Habitat
Eastern North America through Florida along water coarses and in swamps and bogs typically at elevations below 100 feet. Occasionally found in estuaries provided the salt percent is less than 0.89. Can grow in areas that are periodically flooded with up to 10 feet of standing water once trees are established.
Native to the following North American places: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia

Pests and Diseases
Pests: Bagworms, mites. Mites can be particularly troublesome in dry summers without irrigation, causing early leaf browning and defoliation in mid to late summer. Potentially resistant to the Asian Longhorn Beetle.

Diseases: Twig blight is caused by a weak pathogen and is usually present on dead or dying tissue. Over-mature trees are often attacked by a fungus called Stereum taxodi causing brown pocket rot know as pecky cypress.

Culture Notes
Baldcypress is ideal for wet locations, such as its native habitat of stream banks and mucky soils, but the trees will also grow remarkably well on almost any soil, including heavy, compacted, or poorly-drained muck, except alkaline soils with a pH above 7.5. Locate in the full sun where sun will strike the tree on all sides for best symmetrical development. Some trees may tolerate zone 4 conditions.

This is the state tree of Louisiana. National champion is 83 x 85 feet in Louisiana.

Baldcypress is relatively maintenance-free, requiring pruning only to remove dead wood and unwanted lower branches which persist on the tree. It maintains a desirable straight trunk and a moderately dense canopy and does not form double or multiple leaders as do many other large trees. Not unlike some of the pines, the canopy slowly develops a more open, spreading habit as it ages with large diameter branches spaced along the top have of the trunk. Trees can be pruned to maintain a specified height and spread (see photographs).

Pondcypress is found in stagnant pools of water whereas Baldcypress tends to be more common along stream banks. Both grow in water or on more well-drained soils. They tolerate drought better than could be expected for a tree so common to wet soils. In fact, trees grow faster in a well-drained, moist soil than they do in a wet site. It appears as though in nature they simply out-compete other trees in wet soil rather than prefer wet soil. The large buttress trunk is thought to develop in response to the instability of the root system inherent to trees growing in soft submerged soil.

They are well adapted to planting in downtown areas where there is little exposed soil. It has been successfully used as a street tree in some communities and is being use more for this purpose. Roots are able to grow beneath sidewalks and pavement with little trouble. Trees planted in wet sites develop root `knees' that can make mowing operations difficult near the tree. These `knees' usually do not form in well-drained soils. Despite their tolerance to flooded soil trees establish very slowly when planted in water, but they do establish. Chlorosis can develop on soils that are highly alkaline.

Native Habitat
North America
Native to the following North American places: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina

Pests and Diseases
Pests: None of major concern although the potential list is long. Galls cause homeowners much concern, but are usually harmless unless they occur on trees in a nursery. Scales of several types can infest twigs. Aphids cause distorted growth and deposits of honeydew on lower leaves. Boring insects are most likely to attack weakened or stressed trees. Many caterpillars feed on Oak. Where they occur, gypsy moth caterpillars are extremely destructive on Oaks. Fall cankerworm has been a problem in some years. Twig pruner causes twigs to drop off in the summer. Lace bugs occasionally suck juices from leaves causing them to look dusty or whitish gray. Leaf miners cause brown areas in leaves. Mites occasionally infest foliage but cause no lasting harm and do not require control in the landscape. Nurseries occasionally have to apply controls.

Diseases: Usually disease-free except for Oak wilt (C. fagaciarum) in parts of Texas and perhaps some other isolated areas. Oak wilt has generally been confined to central Texas but has been moving east and north as well as into the Texas panhandle. Oak wilt has now been found as far south and east as South Carolina. Anthracnose may be a serious problem in wet weather. Canker diseases attack the trunk and branches. Leaf blister symptoms are round raised areas on the upper leaf surfaces causing depressions of the same shape and size on lower leaf surfaces. Control is not necessary. A large number of fungi cause leaf spots but are usually not serious. Powdery mildew coats leaves with white powdery growth and is generally harmless. Shoestring root rot attacks the roots and once inside moves upward, killing the cambium. Bacterial leaf scorch has been diagnosed in Florida.

Culture Notes
Best growth is made in moist, acid soil, sand, loam or clay, but the tree is amazingly adapted to drought. It also tolerates alkaline soil well. Construction-impacted trees take a long time to die, giving Sand Live Oak a reputation for being a tough tree. Once established, Sand Live Oak will thrive in almost any location and has very good wind resistance. Sand Live Oak is a tough, enduring tree that will respond with vigorous growth to plentiful moisture on well-drained soil. Co-national champions are 81 x 106 and 94 x 100 feet in Gainesville, Florida.

Like other Oaks, care must be taken to develop a strong branch structure early in the life of the tree. Q. geminata (Sand Live Oak) is more salt tolerant than Q. virginiana. Q. geminata tends to root sucker more than Q. virginiana.

Due to the coarse root system, the tree is often raised in fabric containers in field soil, is regularly root pruning in the field, or is grown in air root-pruning or copper root-pruning containers. The container systems allow for less circling roots along the edge of the root ball; the field systems may result in a greater portion of the root system harvested.

In Texas, do not prune April 15 through July 1 because this is when the vector for oak wilt is active.

Be sure to clear all turf away from beneath the branches and mulch to the dripline, especially on young trees, to reduce competition with turf and weeds. This will allow roots to become well established and keep plants healthier. Prune the tree so trunks and branches will not rub each other. Remove some secondary branches on main branches with included bark. This reduces the likelihood of the main branch splitting from the tree later when it has grown to become an important part of the landscape. Locate the tree properly, taking into account the ultimate size since the tree looks best if it is not pruned to control size. The tree can enhance any landscape with its delightful spring flush of foliage. It can be the centerpiece of your landscape if properly located.

Native Habitat
Abundant and widespread in eastern North America due to its tolerance to different soil types, pH, moisture, elevation and soil texture. Grows from sea level to 3000 feet elevation as a subclimax species in bogs to mountain tops. In Florida and at the extremes of its southern range, it is almost exclusively a swamp plant.
Native to the following North American places: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Newfoundland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nova Scotia, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin, West Virginia

Pests and Diseases
Pests: Mites, aphids and twig borers cause some cosmetic damage to the tree. Potato leafhoppers can cause problems including twig die-back for Red Maple; 'Brandywine' (zone 4-8), 'Sun Valley' (zone 4-7), and 'Red Rocket' (zone 3-8) are supposed to be resistant. Asian longhorned beetle, a new pest in certain regions of the country since 1996, attacks and kills trees. Tunneling by beetle larvae girdles tree stems and branches. Potentially resistant trees include Metasequoia, Taxodium, Corylus colorna, and Ginkgo.
Diseases: Anthracnose, scorch and nutrient deficiencies can also be troublesome. Manganese deficiency is most often the cause of chlorosis on alkaline soil. Ganoderma and stem cankers can cause occasional problems as can soil nematodes.
Considered a minor host for this disease, bacterial leaf scorch causes leaf scorch, premature browning, and gradual decline of trees. There is often a yellow line or hallow separating the scorched tissue from green tissue. Infection probably spreads by root grafts and certainly by leafhoppers, spittlebugs and sharpshooters. Pruning tools are not likely spread the disease. Neither fertilization nor pruning have any effect on treatment of the disease. There may be chemical treatment that can reduce symptoms but nothing will cure an infected tree. Bacterial leaf scorch can kill trees in several years.

Culture Notes
This tree is over-planted in many areas and should be used less often. The tree makes the best growth in wet places in the southern portion of its range but adapts nicely to drier locations in the northern and central portion of its range. In fact, it can grow into hardiness zone 10 provided it is planted on a wet site. Trees grow to more than 100 feet tall in their native habitat. Red Maple may develop chlorosis on alkaline soil (pH >7.2) due to manganese deficiency where it also grows poorly. Red maple is taking over (invading) many woodlands throughout its hardiness range due to fire suppression designed to protect urban structures. Trees sprout readily from cut stumps.

This is the state tree of Rhode Island. National champion is 141 x 88 feet in Tennessee.

It is well-suited as a street tree in northern and mid-south climates in residential and other suburban areas but the bark is thin and easily damaged by mowers. Irrigation is often needed to support street tree plantings in well-drained soil in the south. Be sure to plant a red maple grown from a seed source as close to the planting site as possible. Northern seed sources perform poorly in the south; southern seed sources perform poorly in the north. The cultivars 'Schlesinger', 'Franksred' and 'Bowhall' are more tolerant of flooding than 'Acer x freemanii 'Armstrong', 'Autumn Blaze', 'Scarlet Sentinal', 'Morgan' and A. rubrum 'October Glory', these are more tolerant than A. rubrum 'Karpick', 'Autumn Flame' and 'Northwood'. 'Scarlet Sentinel' is well adapted to the southern US. October Glory holds its foliage well into fall compared to Red Sunset. Red Sunset defoliates earlier.

Red maples are slowly taking over eastern deciduous forests. Before 1900, Acer rubrum remained mainly in swampy areas but recently has taken over upland sites. Experts believe the major cause is the repression of forest fires, which killed maples and spared thick-barked species such as oaks, hemlocks and hickories. Acid rain, which red maples tolerate, is another potential cause.

Red Maple tends to form included bark in the crotches of main branches which makes the tree susceptible to breakage. Trees transplant easily but are not very resistant to decay when injured or pruned improperly. Silver Maples are considered better compartmentalizers of decay than Red Maple.

Roots can raise sidewalks as silver maples can but they have a less aggressive root system and so they make a good street tree. Surface roots beneath the canopy can make mowing difficult. Roots growing into mulch resting on the side of the trunk can girdle the trunk. Branches sometimes grow upright through the crown forming poor attachments to the trunk. These should be cut back (or removed if they are small in diameter) in the nursery or after planting in the landscape to help prevent branch failure in older trees during storms.

Best fall color in the south can be had with the following cultivars: 'Autumn Blaze', 'Tilford', 'Bowhall', 'October Glory', and 'Autumn Flame'. Some cultivars such as 'Autumn Flame', 'October GLory', 'Red Sunset', 'Schlesinger' are more resistant to decay; others such as 'Armstrong' (Acer x fremanii), Bowhall', 'Karpick', and 'Scanlon' compartmentalize decay poorly.

Be sure to clear all turf away from beneath the branches and mulch to the dripline, especially on young trees, to reduce competition with turf and weeds. This will allow roots to become well established and keep plants healthier. Prune the tree so trunks and branches will not rub each other. Remove some secondary branches on main branches with included bark. This reduces the likelihood of the main branch splitting from the tree later when it has grown to become an important part of the landscape. Locate the tree properly, taking into account the ultimate size since the tree looks best if it is not pruned to control size. The tree can enhance any landscape with its delightful spring flush of foliage. It can be the centerpiece of your landscape if properly located.

Pests and Diseases
Pests: Aphids often infest the new growth causing an unsightly sooty mold to grow on the foliage. Heavy infestations can be serious. There are new cultivars (many developed by the USDA) available which are resistant to powdery mildew and aphids. Ambrosia beetle can attack even healthy trees; they tend to attack as trees emerge from dormancy. Wax scale.
Diseases: As a group, the L. indicas are very susceptible to powdery mildew compared to the hybrids and L. fauriei 'Fantasy'. Powdery mildew can severely affect Crapemyrtle. Select resistant cultivars and hybrids to avoid this disease. Leaf spots are only a minor concern and do not require treatment.

Culture Notes
Crapemyrtle grows best in full sun with rich, moist soil but will tolerate less hospitable positions in the landscape just as well, once it becomes established. However, plants left on their own in highway medians appear to be less vigorous unless ample mulch is applied and maintained out to the drip line. The best plants are often located in irrigated landscapes.

It grows well in small soil spaces in urban areas such as along boulevards, in parking lots, and in small pavement cutouts if provided with some irrigation until well established. Flowers that drop on cars can stain the paint. They tolerate clay and alkaline soil well.

Many crapemyrtles are magnets for a host-specific aphid that only infests crapemyrtle, not other plants. The damage this causes is not lethal to crapemyrtle. Many beneficial insects which feed on pests that damage other landscape plants use this aphid for food. In this way, the crapemyrtle aphid serves as prey for beneficial insects. Therefore, planting crapemyrtle that attract aphids can enhance biological control of insect pests on other plants in the landscape.

This plant is considered mostly allergy free and causes little or no allergy problems in most people. Hardy cultivars include 'Velma's Royal Delight' (dark royal purple flowers) hardy to minus 19 degrees F.

Be sure to clear all turf away from beneath the branches and mulch to the dripline, especially on young trees, to reduce competition with turf and weeds. This will allow roots to become well established and keep plants healthier. Prune the tree so trunks and branches will not rub each other. Remove some secondary branches on main branches with included bark. This reduces the likelihood of the main branch splitting from the tree later when it has grown to become an important part of the landscape. Locate the tree properly, taking into account the ultimate size since the tree looks best if it is not pruned to control size. The tree can enhance any landscape with its delightful spring flush of foliage. It can be the centerpiece of your landscape if properly located.
