The Search for Salt-tolerant Trees
"The City of Virginia Beach, Virginia (US) has a problem that is common to all the coastal cities in the South. As a major tourist center, it is important that the city be as attractive as possible, especially in the resort areas that border the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay. The problem is that salt spray, blowing in from the Atlantic, deforms or kills the landscape trees planted along the main street of the resort areas."
This technology bulletin is based on the article, Evaluating Trees for Saltwater Spray Tolerance for Oceanfront Sites, that is published in the Journal of Arboriculture, Volume 25, Number 4, July 1999.
