About this collection
Urban Streetscape Trees
Street planting is the hardest brief in the catalogue: restricted soil volume, reflected heat from both sides, vehicle damage and services underfoot. Brachychiton, Ficus, Acacia, Lagerstroemia, Tabebuia, Bauhinia, Jacaranda, Podocarpus, Pyrus and Syzygium are the species that hold up under it.
Street tree failures are almost always soil volume failures, so the useful conversation happens with the civil engineer rather than the landscape architect. Confirm the pit specification before the species. For the shrub layer at kerb level see urban streetscape shrubs, and trees with striking foliage where the street needs colour as well as canopy. On boulevards and corniche routes the alternating vertical element is usually a palm, which is palms for Middle East streetscaping.
