Boulevard Trees in Fargo

We lost an American Elm on our boulevard last year and just had it replaced by the city with a Burr Oak. The forester's office was very good in working with us on our species preference. Just call or email them after your elm or ash is removed. (Pre-emptive removal of marginal ash trees is begining now even though the emerald ash borer is still 250 miles away.)

Also note that Fargo residents are to get a tree permit before planting a tree anywhere on their property. A little bit of planning can prevent a lot of expense and headaches in have trees grow into power lines, nesseciating frequent pruning which still may not prevent damage.

Below is the list of trees that were options for us. The city provides information on the species.

• Accolade Elm
• Cathedral Elm
• Hackberry
• Northern Acclaim Honeylocust
• Green Mountain Sugar Maple
• American Linden
• Bur Oak
