N�� , Trees are divided into four classes. Class one and two trees are considered the most valuable in enhancing the environment and are the most likely to prosper in the Friendswood area. Therefore, only class one and two trees shall be approved as new plantings for streets, public right-of-ways, city parks and property, and parking lots unless other wise approved by the city zoning officer on the advice of an Urban Forester. Species that are classified as shade trees will reach a height and size that will conflict with overhead powerlines, permanent structures, or the canopy will exceed the limits of a confined space. Species that are classified as small trees will not provide the protection or aesthetic impact of a large shade tree, yet they are suitable for planting beneath powerlines and are good alternatives for areas of limited space. Class 1: for the most part this classification is for trees that are native,will do relatively well in the Friendswood area, have few diseases or pest problems, are easy to find in local nurseries and with few exceptions (redbud, possomhaw and waxmyrtle) are larger in size. Class 2: this classification is for trees that are mostly native, will still do well in the Friendswood area, have little disease or pest problems, sometimes not quite as easy to find in nurseries, are more varied in size and in many cases are more suitable for wildlife. These trees tend to have either larger and messier fruit and/or are thornier than trees in class one. Some of these trees are also more prone to some decay at maturity and might not do as well in urbanized areas. Class 3: this classification starts to pick up more introduced species, the trees might or might not do as well in the Friendswood area, require a little more maintenance and care, the natives might be harder to find in a nursery while the introduced species may be more readily available and in some cases these trees are more prone to decay, disease and pest problems. Class 4: this classification is exclusively introduced species. They may or may not do well in Friendswood, if they do grow well they have the potential to become invasive species and cause problems for local ecosystems and are more prone to decay, disease and pest problems. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PLANTINGS. N--Native � Introduced "2--Mesic *3--Aquatic * 1-- (requires (tolerates Xerophytic moderate d�a nage *Once (requires water with Established little water) good once drainage) established 3 years) 1--60 feet 2"30 to 60 3--30 feet and greater feet in and less in ultimate ultimate ultimate height(large height height shade tree) �medium �small tree) tree) D--Deciduous (sheds leaves annually) If placed on the south and west walls will reduce indoor temperatures in summer by shading the roof and walls. In winter, these trees allow sunlight through to help heat the house. E--Evergreen (having green leaves/needles through out the year) Can create a wind break if placed on the Northwest side of a building. SE--Semi evergreen For example, the code for Live Oak is 1/N/2/1/1, which indicates that the Live Oak is a class one species that is native to Texas, requires moderate water with good drainage, demands or tolerates full sun, and will exceed 60 feet in ultimate height. As a shade tree, the Live Oak will provide protection and has aesthetic impact but the tree is not suitable for planting beneath powerlines or within confined spaces.
