SHADE TREES 
Shade Trees should be planted wherever needed for shade. In the Southwest there 
is need for more shade than has been provided in recent years. If a tree serves a good 
purpose, shade, screen, or other, it is appropriate. 
Nursery-grown trees have the best root systems, smooth, straight bodies, and live 
easily. Tops should be cut back considerably when trees are planted.
