Living with Urban Soils

Tree City USA Bulletin No. 5

"Soils and soil management are especially critical in urban settings where the work of nature has largely been altered by human activity. Your knowledge of soils – and the nourishment, water and anchorage that they alone can provide for trees – will help assure success for new transplants and long life for older trees.

This bulletin helps you understand a few basics so you can be sure to select the species that will do best in your soil." [website]
