Description
Original design and artwork by Robert O’Brien Design highlights the cover of each version of the Right Tree, Right Place publication by the Florida Urban Forestry Council. Each 8.5 x 11-inch Selecting and Planting Guide unfolds to a 22 x 34-inch poster which features beautiful, full-color artistic representations of 30 recommended, regional trees.
The folded guide provides step-by-step illustrations on how to plant the right tree for the right place. The Florida Urban Forestry Council (FUFC) developed these publications for the Central, North and South Florida regions to achieve a sustainable urban forest through proper planning and planting.
Unfolding the publication reveals step-by-step guidelines and illustrations on how to select, plant and care for the right tree for the right place. Easy-to-grasp text and illustrations guide you through the process of:
- Determining your purpose in planting
- Understanding the planting site
- Selecting a compatible tree
- Planting your tree properly
- Avoiding improper planting locations
- Watering and care for your new tree
- Pruning your young tree
- And much more!
The tree selection chart on the innermost fold includes detailed information on 30 recommended, regional trees. Preferences for soil type, salt tolerance, mature height and other tree characteristics are used to help you select a tree compatible with the planting site and appropriate for your intended purpose. All text and illustrations support the most current arboricultural research.
The reverse side of the poster features beautiful, full-color artistic representations of the 30 recommended regional trees. Along with designation of canopy, understory or palm, the scale of the artwork represents relative sizes of the plants at mature height. This attractively-illustrated poster will capture the attention of all that may see it.
