  1. Pruning Storm Damaged Trees Amy Jordan Horticulture Agent K-State Research and Extension – Lyon County

  2. Siberian Elm

  3. Bradford Pear

  4. Tree Failure Rapid growth rate Weak, brittle nature Narrow angled crotches Multiple leaders High percentage of tree population

  5. Trees Likely to Fail • Siberian Elm • Bradford Pear • Silver Maple • River Birch • Lacebark Elm • Red Maple

  6. Species Distribution • No one species should constitute more than 10% of total tree population

  7. Disposable Landscapes • What will grow quickly? • What will survive for the next 15 to 20 years?

  8. Dependable Landscapes • Think long-term (>20 years) • Be creative • Do your homework • Think outside the “box”

  9. Better Choices • Oaks (not Pin) • English, Sawtooth, Chinkapin, Red, Bur, Chestnut, Swamp White, Shumard • Oaks can put on significant yearly growth with proper growing conditions. • Maples • Sugar (Caddo), Norway, Amur • London Plane • Honeylocust
