CEG Utility Friendly Trees

Trees chosen for height as well as form, leaf texture and color are planted in the Community Education Garden to demonstrate options for home landscapes that include overhead utility lines.  These examples of utility friendly trees are smaller in scale, so also suitable for smaller yards. See them in the All Things Woody Garden and the Natives ‘N More Garden.
