THE CITY OF CARROLLTON TREE SPECIES LIST

The City of Carrollton Tree Species List

The City of Carrollton Tree Species List is intended to support the development code, site planning and design activities for tree conservation and establishment, and tree maintenance planning and decision-making. Trees are arranged alphabetically by the tree's common name with the "genus" listed first. For example, red maple is listed as "Maple, Red" (maple is the genus name). The Latin name is also listed for more definitive species identification. In some cases, the commonly planted variety or cultivar of the species has also been included apart from the species.

Key to Symbols and Tree Species Characteristic Descriptions

TREE CHARACTERISTIC	DESCRIPTION and ENTRY CHOICES
Species Common Name	Entered with genus common name first, then species, then cultivar if applicable. For some species an alternate common name is included in parentheses.
Latin Name	Genus, species, and variety or cultivar; always italicized or underlined.

Wildlife Value	Indicates with an "X" if the tree produces flowers (nectar) or fruits that are consumed by insects, birds, or mammals.
Excessive Litter	Indicates with an "X" if the tree produces large or hazardous leaves, fruit, or other litter.
ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS AND TOLERANCES
Growth Rate	Typical rate of growth under urban conditions.
	S = Slow: ½ to 1½ feet/year
	M = Moderate: 1½ to 2½ feet/year
	F = Fast: 2½ to 3+ feet/year
Average Life Span	The average life span (useful service life) of the species when growing under average urban conditions. A tree is at the end of its useful service life when its risk of failure becomes unacceptable and cannot be improved or when the tree is no longer an asset due to its appearance or condition.
	S = Short: less than 25 years useful service life.
	M = Moderate: 25 to 40 years useful service life.
	L = Large: 50 years or greater useful service life.
Net Effect on Air Quality	The net monetary effects in cents attributable to the species on air quality; listed as a benefit (positive) or cost (negative). Includes the species net effect on ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter (PM10), and carbon monoxide.
Soil Moisture	The typical soil moisture conditions for the species in its native habitat.
	H = Hydric: wet and may be occasionally flooded for short periods
	M = Mesic: moist but moderately well- to well-drained
	X = Xeric: dry and very well-drained
Drought Tolerance	Tolerance of the species to infrequent rain, low soil moisture, full sun, and high temperatures.
	Low = not tolerant to drought conditions
	Moderate = tolerant to mild drought conditions; moderately tolerant to severe drought conditions
	High = very tolerant to mild to severe and prolonged drought conditions
Preferred Soil pH	Relative soil acidity or alkalinity preferred by the species. In many cases, a range of pH preference is given if it was available. In other cases, a general level is given. A pH of 7.0 is neutral, a pH of less than 7.0 is acidic, and a pH of greater than 7.0 is alkaline.
	ac = acidic (5.0 to 6.0)
	sl ac = slightly acidic (6.0 to 7.0)
	nu = neutral (7.0)
	sl al = sl alkaline (7.0 to 8.0)
	al = alkaline (8.0 to 8.5)
	n/a = no information available
Light Requirement	The amount of sunlight the species prefers or will tolerate. Trees that are typically found in the understory or are characteristic of late forest successional stages prefer shade or at least partial shade, while trees that typically form the overstory or are characteristic of early successional stages prefer full sun.
	FS = Full Sun
	PS = Partial Shade
	SH = Shade
Construction Tolerance/Limitations	The broad tolerance of the species in its home range to construction damage, and the limitations that constrain a species tolerance to damage.
Tolerance	P = Poor
	M = Moderate
	G = Good
Limitations	I = physical injury, wood compartmentalization and decay
	P = pest complications, including chronic and acute attacks
	S = soil conditions, including aeration and water availability
	C = limited climatic tolerances, including native range, hardiness, and micro-climate change
	A = all of the limitations described above
Urban Tolerant Tree	Based upon other characteristics and tolerances to urban conditions; an "X" indicates the species is suitable for planting under "tough" urban conditions.

	S = Small (400 square feet with a 25 foot crown diameter)
	M = Medium (900 square feet with a 35 foot crown diameter)
	L = Large (1,600 square feet with a 45 foot crown diameter)
Mature Crown Form	General shape of the tree crown (leaves and branches) when fully leafed out.
	Irregular
	Multi-Stemmed
	Oval (Columnar)
	Pyramidal
	Rounded
	Spreading
	Upright (Vase)
Typical Range of Mature Tree Height	Typical range of height of tree in feet from ground to bud at tip of leader or tallest branch under various conditions.
Typical Range of Mature Crown Width	Typical range of spread of branches in feet at the widest diameter across the crown under various conditions.
Leaf Type	Persistence and type of leaf on the tree. Deciduous trees lose their leaves in the fall.
	DB = Deciduous Broadleaf
	DC = Deciduous Conifer
	EB = Evergreen Broadleaf
	EC = Evergreen Conifer
Leaf Texture	Relative size and appearance of leaves.
	F = Fine
	M = Medium
	C = Coarse
Fall Leaf Color	The typical color of the tree's fall foliage.
	EV = evergreen
	BR = bronze or brown
	MA = maroon
	MU = multi-colored: maroon, red, orange, yellow
	OR = orange
	RE = red
	YE = yellow
	I = insignificant color change
Flower Color	For trees with showy flowers, indicates the typical flower color.
	B = blue
	L = purple
	M = multiple colors: white, pink, purple, red, or others
	P = pink
	R = red
	W = white
	Y = yellow
	I = insignificant flowers: small with an unremarkable color
Flowering Time	For trees with showy flowers, the general season of blooming for the species.
Wildlife Value	Indicates with an "X" if the tree produces flowers (nectar) or fruits that are consumed by insects, birds, or mammals.
Excessive Litter	Indicates with an "X" if the tree produces large or hazardous leaves, fruit, or other litter.
ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS AND TOLERANCES
Growth Rate	Typical rate of growth under urban conditions.
	S = Slow: ½ to 1½ feet/year
	M = Moderate: 1½ to 2½ feet/year
	F = Fast: 2½ to 3+ feet/year
Average Life Span	The average life span (useful service life) of the species when growing under average urban conditions. A tree is at the end of its useful service life when its risk of failure becomes unacceptable and cannot be improved or when the tree is no longer an asset due to its appearance or condition.
	S = Short: less than 25 years useful service life.
	M = Moderate: 25 to 40 years useful service life.
	L = Large: 50 years or greater useful service life.
Net Effect on Air Quality	The net monetary effects in cents attributable to the species on air quality; listed as a benefit (positive) or cost (negative). Includes the species net effect on ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter (PM10), and carbon monoxide.
Soil Moisture	The typical soil moisture conditions for the species in its native habitat.
	H = Hydric: wet and may be occasionally flooded for short periods
	M = Mesic: moist but moderately well- to well-drained
	X = Xeric: dry and very well-drained
Drought Tolerance	Tolerance of the species to infrequent rain, low soil moisture, full sun, and high temperatures.
	Low = not tolerant to drought conditions
	Moderate = tolerant to mild drought conditions; moderately tolerant to severe drought conditions
	High = very tolerant to mild to severe and prolonged drought conditions
Preferred Soil pH	Relative soil acidity or alkalinity preferred by the species. In many cases, a range of pH preference is given if it was available. In other cases, a general level is given. A pH of 7.0 is neutral, a pH of less than 7.0 is acidic, and a pH of greater than 7.0 is alkaline.
	ac = acidic (5.0 to 6.0)
	sl ac = slightly acidic (6.0 to 7.0)
	nu = neutral (7.0)
	sl al = sl alkaline (7.0 to 8.0)
	al = alkaline (8.0 to 8.5)
	n/a = no information available
Light Requirement	The amount of sunlight the species prefers or will tolerate. Trees that are typically found in the understory or are characteristic of late forest successional stages prefer shade or at least partial shade, while trees that typically form the overstory or are characteristic of early successional stages prefer full sun.
	FS = Full Sun
	PS = Partial Shade
	SH = Shade
Construction Tolerance/Limitations	The broad tolerance of the species in its home range to construction damage, and the limitations that constrain a species tolerance to damage.
Tolerance	P = Poor
	M = Moderate
	G = Good
Limitations	I = physical injury, wood compartmentalization and decay
	P = pest complications, including chronic and acute attacks
	S = soil conditions, including aeration and water availability
	C = limited climatic tolerances, including native range, hardiness, and micro-climate change
	A = all of the limitations described above
Urban Tolerant Tree	Based upon other characteristics and tolerances to urban conditions; an "X" indicates the species is suitable for planting under "tough" urban conditions.

TREE CHARACTERISTIC	DESCRIPTION and ENTRY CHOICES
Species Common Name	Entered with genus common name first, then species, then cultivar if applicable. For some species an alternate common name is included in parentheses.
Latin Name	Genus, species, and variety or cultivar; always italicized or underlined.
CANOPY AREA FOR DEVELOPMENT CODE
Square Feet of Canopy	The total area projection of the crown onto the ground in square feet as typically achieved in urban situations with less than optimal growing conditions.
Parking Lot Canopy Tree	Trees approved for planting in parking lots.
	1 = trees that will project significant shade, intercept enough water, substantially filter out pollutants, and survive the conditions within a parking area to the extent they could be considered a "canopy" tree.
	2 = the same as 1, except these trees are ONLY appropriate for large, expanded tree islands or landscape strips, swales, or moist soil conditions with plenty of rooting space.
Canopy Size Category	Very Small - 150 square feet with a 15 foot crown diameter The minimum open soil surface area is 25 sq. ft.
	Small - 400 square feet with a 25 foot crown diameter The minimum open soil surface area is 100 sq. ft.
	Medium - 900 square feet with a 35 foot crown diameter The minimum open soil surface area is 225 sq. ft.
	Large - 1,600 square feet with a 45 foot crown diameter The minimum open soil surface area is 400 sq. ft.

	F = Fast: 2½ to 3+ feet/year
Average Life Span	The average life span (useful service life) of the species when growing under average urban conditions. A tree is at the end of its useful service life when its risk of failure becomes unacceptable and cannot be improved or when the tree is no longer an asset due to its appearance or condition.
	S = Short: less than 25 years useful service life.
	M = Moderate: 25 to 40 years useful service life.
	L = Large: 50 years or greater useful service life.
Net Effect on Air Quality	The net monetary effects in cents attributable to the species on air quality; listed as a benefit (positive) or cost (negative). Includes the species net effect on ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter (PM10), and carbon monoxide.
Soil Moisture	The typical soil moisture conditions for the species in its native habitat.
	H = Hydric: wet and may be occasionally flooded for short periods
	M = Mesic: moist but moderately well- to well-drained
	X = Xeric: dry and very well-drained
Drought Tolerance	Tolerance of the species to infrequent rain, low soil moisture, full sun, and high temperatures.
	Low = not tolerant to drought conditions
	Moderate = tolerant to mild drought conditions; moderately tolerant to severe drought conditions
	High = very tolerant to mild to severe and prolonged drought conditions
Preferred Soil pH	Relative soil acidity or alkalinity preferred by the species. In many cases, a range of pH preference is given if it was available. In other cases, a general level is given. A pH of 7.0 is neutral, a pH of less than 7.0 is acidic, and a pH of greater than 7.0 is alkaline.
	ac = acidic (5.0 to 6.0)
	sl ac = slightly acidic (6.0 to 7.0)
	nu = neutral (7.0)
	sl al = sl alkaline (7.0 to 8.0)
	al = alkaline (8.0 to 8.5)
	n/a = no information available
Light Requirement	The amount of sunlight the species prefers or will tolerate. Trees that are typically found in the understory or are characteristic of late forest successional stages prefer shade or at least partial shade, while trees that typically form the overstory or are characteristic of early successional stages prefer full sun.
	FS = Full Sun
	PS = Partial Shade
	SH = Shade
Construction Tolerance/Limitations	The broad tolerance of the species in its home range to construction damage, and the limitations that constrain a species tolerance to damage.
Tolerance	P = Poor
	M = Moderate
	G = Good
Limitations	I = physical injury, wood compartmentalization and decay
	P = pest complications, including chronic and acute attacks
	S = soil conditions, including aeration and water availability
	C = limited climatic tolerances, including native range, hardiness, and micro-climate change
	A = all of the limitations described above
Urban Tolerant Tree	Based upon other characteristics and tolerances to urban conditions; an "X" indicates the species is suitable for planting under "tough" urban conditions.
