Tips for tree planting and species selection: A variety of tree species should be planted so no single species dominates. Consider the length of the growing season, soil characteristics and exposure before selecting trees and shrubs for specific sites. Plant trees in the spring or fall (Consult nursery for best results). Mulch the root area to help delay freezing of the soil in the fall and to retain soil moisture. The following is a list of trees that are typically successful in the Town of Vail. Due to multiple microclimates and site constraints, the inclusion of a tree on the list does not guarantee survival. This list is not all-inclusive and there are many species and variations that may also grow successfully. Contact your local arborist, landscape architect, land- scaping company or seed supplier for more information.
