“Urban Trees for a New Century” was recently presented by Nancy Buley of J. Frank Schmidt Nursery & some OGA (Ornamental Grower’s Association of Northern IL) at the iLandscape Show in Feb 2015. Becky Thomas joined Nancy Buley to examine the book Shade Trees in Towns & Cities written by William Solotaroff in 1911. The grower’s presentation reviewed his top performers then & highlighted a sneak peak at promising new city trees for today’s urban forest.  For their complete list of recommendations & a recap of Solotaroff’s book click the links below.
