Ornamental and Shade Trees 
Possibly the most attractive features in many of our 
New England towns are the large shade and ornamental 
trees. It is absolutely necessary to include deciduous trees 
in your home or street plantings, since no other trees can 
equal in foliage or growing characteristics those produced 
by this group. 
It is important to plant some of these trees each year, 
since it takes from ten to twenty-five years to produce a 
good-sized specimen. Plant medium-sized trees and they 
will grow rapidly into lofty specimens. 
Trees not marked B&B (Balled and Burlapped) can be 
moved with bare roots when taken early in spring, before 
leaves appear, or in fall when leaves have fallen. Some 
deciduous trees are sold by height and some by caliper 
(diameter of trunk). Trees sold by caliper are measured 
1 foot above the ground.
