Trees for small or narrow spaces

In the urban community, we are finding, more and more, that the desire to plant trees in smaller, more confined spaces is becoming more popular. Folks with smaller yards are still seeking to obstruct a view or provide shade to a deck or patio but think they are limited because the space they have available won't handle a large shade tree. We have recently stocked our nursery with several choices of trees that lend themselves to situations such as this. For planting in the strip between the street and sidewalk, we are recommending the versatile Upright European Hornbeam.

At this time of year not only do you need to watch out for snow and ice, but the wrong removal product as well!! I know that no one wants to hurt their back or suffer an injury shoveling snow, but using the wrong "ice melt" product can lead to other problems for your lawn and gardens. Basic rock salt is hard on both plants and concrete surfaces, especially brand new ones that have not been sealed properly. Ice melt with magnesium chloride is the safest material to use for your plants and lawn, and it will not damage concrete. It also works in colder weather.
