The City of Hamilton's table of tree species accepted for planting in parks and open spaces, the counterpart to its right-of-way list. Species are listed by genus, botanical and common name with accepted cultivars, then rated across mature height and spread, growth rate, size class, fruit, crown shape, salt, drought and flooding tolerance, whether they are asset friendly and native, growing conditions, special features, considerations, future maintenance concerns and planting constraints. Definitions and terminology and a key close the sheet.
