    A recent study showed that Minneapolis has lost 50% of its tree canopy since 1950. And that was before the tornado that wiped out huge swaths of trees in North Minneapolis and Emerald Ash Borer, which will kill tens of thousands of trees in our communities.

    Planting for Diversity (30/20/10 Rule)

    Diversity is the most important thing to remember when selecting trees for your landscape. After Dutch Elm laid waste to the urban forest in the 1970s, city’s and homeowners made the mistake of eagerly planting a very limited number of tree species. They filled our neighborhoods with the fastest growing trees they could find –silver […]
