Wikle, Jack. 1980. An evaluation of tree performance under low-maintenance conditions. Am. Nurseryman 152(8): 10, 117-118.

During the past 20 years, there has been an increasing interest in planting trees in public places, such as in parks and along highways. However, the amount of funding available for maintaining trees in these areas is limited and may be further restricted in the next few years, due to the current economic climate. In light of this, an experiment was undertaken in 1966 to evaluate the performance of various tree species under low-maintenance regimes. Some of the trees that have done exceptionally well under low-maintenance conditions are: the green-leaved cultivars of Acer platanoides (Norway maple), Acer rubrum (red maple), and Tilia cordata (small-leaved European linden). Although some Fraxinus varieties suffered from borer infestations, some others did well, particularly Fraxinus excelsior ‘Hesse’ (‘Hesse’ ash). Other trees that produced good results were the cultivars of Gleditsia (honeylocust), Pyrus (pear), and Sorbus (mountain ash).
