Sec. 56-37. List of recommended trees and shrubs.
The following lists indicate plantings which will meet the landscaping requirements of this chapter. The lists are by no means comprehensive and are intended merely to suggest the types of flora which would be appropriate for screening and shading purposes. Plants were selected for inclusion on these list according to four principal criteria:
(1) General suitability for the climate and soil conditions for this area,
(2) Ease of maintenance,
(3) Tolerance of city conditions,
(4) Availability from area nurseries.
When selecting new plantings for a particular site, a developer should first consider the type of plants which are thriving on or near that site. However, if an introduced species has proven highly effective for screening or shading in this area, it too may be proper selection.
