Front Range Tree Recommendation List©
The Front Range Tree Recommendation List© was developed through the collaborative efforts of 12 individuals, three from each of the four participating professional groups: the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), the Colorado Nursery & Greenhouse Association (CNGA), municipal arborists representing the Colorado Tree Coalition (CTC), and the Colorado State University (CSU) Extension. Based on the committee’s collective education, knowledge, and experience, more than 250 trees or varieties were evaluated and rated, resulting in a single reference list for professionals to use and share with their customers or residents.
