thing I do is look up," she said. Co-
lumnar trees are often good choices.
The Tree Commission also gener-
ally uses species with small leaves
and no fruit to avoid clogging the
city's drainage system.
As a young tree grows, Smith
said it can be trained by cutting off
the right branches.
"Cut off the little branches you
can see are going to grow into being
a problem," Smith said. If a branch .
will be too low over the sidewalk in
10 years, Cut it off now.
Members of the Tree Commis-
sion will happily assist residents in
selecting an appropriate species for
a given location. Smith said. Call
her at (541) 367-5168 or Commu-
nity Development Director Carol
Lewis at (541) 367-8113 to reach a
member of the Tree Commission.
When hiring someone'to prune,
Smith suggests telling the pruner
exactly what you want - make sure
they cut the branch all the way
back. Again, the Tree Commission
is willing to give advice on trees in
Sweet Home and can help residents
decide what to do.
