Revised List |
Forest Service (CSFS) and Colorado Arborists and Lawn Care Professionals (CALCP). Based on the committee’s collective education, knowledge and experience over 211 trees or varieties were evaluated and rated, resulting in a single reference list for professionals to use and share with customers
or residents.
The purpose of this project was to update and expand an original list creating a Front Range Tree list for use by Green Industry professionals based on decades of actual experience growing and caring for trees in our area. The list is intended to assist those involved in the buying, growing, selling, selection, siting and specification of trees, with the ultimate goal of a healthy, diverse and geographically appropriate landscape and urban forest. The ratings apply to the Colorado Front Range, generally defined as the region from Colorado Springs to the Wyoming border and from the foothills to the eastern plains.
