AB  - A 13-year study at the Auburn University Piedmont Substation has evaluated over 200 different trees. Data collected have included attrition, growth rate and ornamental characteristics. These data have provided information which nurserymen, landscapers and urban foresters use to select tree species and cultivars for residential and urban settings. Among trees showing superior performance in criteria used in the evaluation are Acer rubrum cultivars, Betula nigra ‘Heritage’, Nyssa ogeche, Pistacia chinensis, Quercus prinus, Quercus lyrata, Quercus acutissima, Quercus shumardii and Taxodium distichum nutans.
