The Pin Oak as a Street Tree. 



Pin Oaks on a Manhattan street planted in tree pits with gravel surface 

 similar to the requirements of Planting Specification No. 2. The surface of 

 the tree pit should be kept lower than the sidewalk pavement in order to catch 

 any available water. The soil should also be frequently cultivated as it is 

 rapidly compacted by traffic. If these trees are not permitted to become too 

 large, a very successful growth may be maintained.
