  6. TREE CHARACTERISTICS MOST LIKELY TO ATTRACT BIRDS: • SEEDS, FRUIT AND BERRIES • SOFT WOOD - FAST GROWTH • PEST AND DISEASE PRONE • SHELTER • NESTING HABITAT

  7. TREE CHARACTERISTICS LEAST LIKELY TO ATTRACT BIRDS: • SLOW GROWTH, LONG-LIVED • OPEN TREE-FORM • LACK EDIBLE SEEDS OR FRUIT • DISEASE OR PEST FREE

  8. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: • LOCATION • LOCAL CONDITIONS • ANALYSIS • EVALUATIONS • NEED FOR MORE INFORMATION

  9. WHY PLANT TREES? • AESTHETIC APPEARANCE • WIND BREAKS • NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT • ENVIRONMENTAL MISSION • LEGAL OR ZONING REQUIRED

  10. TREE SELECTION -AREA COVERED AREA COVERED IS THE NORTHERN TIER STATES AND TRANSITION STATES
