ONLINE TREE SELECTORS

There are many factors to consider when planting a tree - mature height/spread, soil needs, climate, fruiting, aesthetics, etc. You want your newly planted tree to survive to maturity, and likely have some goals in mind for what the tree will provide. Luckily there are a number of online tree selectors that can help do the thinking for you.

You simply put in the variables (or as many as you know) and the selector spits out a list of trees suitable for your planting location. Below are some of my favorites. These work well for the Upper Midwest, but can be applied to many other parts of the country as well. The University of Florida selector is my favorite of the bunch, but all will work relatively well.

1. Urban Forest Scosystems Institute's SelecTree
2. Minnesota Department of Transportation
3. Arbor Day Foundation 
4. University of Florida
5. University of Illinois Extension 
6. Morton Arboretum
