Replacement tree list related to losses from the EAB
In Illinois we put together a list which is broken down into northern,
central, and southern regions consisting of species that would do well in
urban areas as well as provide a diverse canopy for the urban forest.
Categories such as city parkway, private property, underwires, salt
tolerant, availability, and hardiness are underscored.

Premises
For purposes of overall diversity a number of commonly used trees have been omitted from
this recommended list. That does not mean that they cannot be used, rather that the committee felt
that their inclusion may have influenced reforestation efforts in such a way as to create future pest
and diversity problems.
When the species only is listed, then all cultivars and the species are recommended.
When the species and cultivars are listed, then only the species and the selected cultivars are
recommended.
Northern Illinois is the region north of I-80.
Central Illinois is from I-80 on the north to I-70 on the south.
Southern Illinois the region south of I-70.
It is the recommendation of this committee that those trees provided to private property owners
match the size being planted by the local government.
The committee recommends that trees be purchased within 200 miles radius of their planting
location.
Trees may be purchased as bare-root, balled & burlapped (B&B), grow bag or container grown.
Size requirements, availability and planting time restraints may be used to determine what
harvesting method is acceptable for individual planting projects.
Private Property designation includes residential, corporate, parks, golf courses, cemeteries or
any other planting site other than the public right-of-way between the street curb and the adjacent
private property line.
City Parkway designation refers to the public right-of-way. The public right of way is
measured from private property line to private property line and includes but is not limited to street
surface, sidewalks, medians, plaza’s, traffic circles, curbs and parkways or boulevards.
All trees listed under the City Parkway designation are to be single stem (tree form).

City Parkway
The city parkway refers to a predominantly, continuous soil planting area within the public
right-of-way, typically adjacent to the curb line of a street.
Sidewalk Cut-out
A sidewalk cut-out refers to an opening in a sidewalk completely surrounded by concrete
or pavers.
Private Property
Private property includes residential, corporate, parks, golf courses, cemeteries, or any
other landscaped planting site not within the public right-of-way.
Under Wires
Smaller trees better suited for planting under utility wires.
Salt Tolerant
Salt tolerant trees are recommended for use in areas which are subject to road salt.
Spring Planting Best
Trees which may require spring planting or at least to be nursery dug in the spring to
improve establishment and survivability rates.
Availability
GD = Good: commonly available in most
AV = Average: available in many nurseries
LTD = Limited: available in some nurseries in limited quantities
VLTD = Very Limited: somewhat difficult to find in nurseries
NA = Not Available: currently no known growers

Hardiness
EX = Excellent: good overall survivability
GD = Good: performs well
AV = Average: grows within the area
AV-PR = Average to Poor: may grow within an area in protected sites but otherwise not
survive in exposed sites.
Ease of Transplant
GD = Good: Easily transplantable
AV = Average: Transplants reasonably well
