City of Los Angeles Approved Street Tree ListKeyEvergreen, Deciduous, Semi-deciduousE - Evergreen. The tree has leaves year-round.D - Deciduous. All leaves lost in one season.S - Semi-deciduous. Most, but not all leaves lost.Spacing: Distance from tree to tree, measuredfrom center of trunk to the next trunk center.YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED TREES:These trees are reproductive hosts (the beetle can reproduce inside the tree) of the Polyphagous Shot HoleBorer (PSHB). PSHB is a very small beetle that bores into trees and infects them with a fungus (Fusarium). TheFusarium clogs the cells of the tree, thus blocking the flow of water and nutrients and kills the tree. Because thebeetle attacks many tree species (and more are being added to the list every month), we are advising not toplant the tree species that can harbor these pests. Work is being done by the University of California to findnatural controls. http://ucanr.edu/sites/socaloakpests/Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer/Sunset Climate Zone - From the Sunset Western Garden Book .

L Low; M Moderate; H HighAllergy Potential - These ratings (1 - 10) from Thomas Ogren's OPALS (Ogrens Plant Allergy Scale) System in Allergy Free Gardening .The increasing incidence of asthma and allergies in the Los Angeles area has prompted us to include this information. Some trees are now outlawed on school campuses because of theirhigh allergy potential. In the flower, it is the male anther that produces pollen, the biggest allergy issue. Most flowers are complete, meaning they have both male and female parts. Somespecies, however, have flowers that are only male or female. These species have either separate male oand female trees (dioecious - two houses), or they have those male-only andfemale-only flowers growing on the same tree (monoecious - one house, like corn), and yet others have separate male and female flowers and also some bisexual flowers. Over the years,male trees have been chosen for street trees and for campuses to avoid the mess of fruit drop from female trees. This has resulted in an increase in male tres, and therefore an increasein pollen.1 lowest rating, least allergenic pollen. If separate male and female trees, these will be the female trees.10 highest rating. These trees are usually wind-pollinated or have very fine pollen grains.
