Trees in these sections either have chronic problems with growing and overall health, such as damaging diseases or site intolerances, or are not reliably hardy to the area e.g., they are out of their natural cold hardiness zone. Use caution until their performance is better documented.
Trees in these sections have shown promise in landscapes or as street trees, but either do not have a long history of use in Northwest and Central Minnesota or require specific siting requirements such as wind protection or acidic soils. Trees in these sections may have some value in certain instances, such as unusually harsh planting sites or for wildlife cover, but are not recommended for general use. Trees in these sections include species that have a history of performing well as street, boulevard or landscape trees in general for northwestern and central Minnesota. Broad ridgetops, steep coulees, and deep valleys were dominated by oak, shagbark hickory-basswood forests on moist slopes, oak-basswood-black walnut forests in the valleys and prairies on the ridge tops and dry valleys. BlufflandsĪn old bedrock plateau covered by windblown silt and then extensively eroded by rivers and streams. Plant communities historically dominated by oak forests, maple-basswood forests, riparian forests, and tall grass prairies and oak savannahs in the drier areas. Soil depth generally decreases from west to east. Rochester PlateauĪ rolling, high plateau of windblown silt over glacial till in the west and bedrock in the east. This area was a mosaic of tall grass prairie, savannahs and maple-basswood forests prior to settlement. Rolling to steep slopes on the moraine and level to rolling on the outwash plain, with soils ranging from clay loam to sand. Original vegetation included bur oaks, maples, basswood and prairie tall grasses. Soils range from wet to well-drained, formed under prairie or forest conditions. Much of this area is a rolling plain of loess-mantled ridges over sandstone and carbonate bedrock and till. Originally oak barrens and openings, with some jack pine along the northern edge. About 20 percent of the soils are very poorly drained the rest are excessively well drained sands. Most of the soils are sandy and droughty, but there are some organic soils. Anoka Sand Plainįlat, sandy lake plain and terraces along the Mississippi River. Red oak, sugar maple, basswood and American elm were most common in this dominantly forested region. Soils were formed in thick deposits of gray limey glacial till left by the retreat of the Des Moines lobe.
Topography is gently to moderately rolling.

Selecting the trees that will survive and grow into healthy landscapes and forests requires an analysis of your planting site and a careful match of the trees to that environment. Trees shade and cool us in the summer, protect us from cold winter winds, supply us with clean air to breathe, beautify our communities and provide habitat for wildlife.
