Street Trees in Burra North 2 Oxigen Landscape Architects March 2007
Introduction
This report has been prepared to assist in the identification of street trees in Burra North, their management and recommendations for replacement if appropriate. It provides suggestions for each street and a list of suitable species that can be trialled in addition to those currently found in the town.
The report was prepared by Oxigen Pty Ltd, Landscape Architects for the Regional Council of Goyder. The plant descriptions and some images are taken from “Shrubs and Trees for Australian Gardens”, by E.E. Lord, “Encyclopaedia Botanica”, “Gardener’s Companion to Eucalypts”, by I. Holliday and G. Watton, “Eucalypts of South Australia” and the “Flemings Nurseries” website. The photographs of the existing street trees were taken in March 2007.
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Burra’s early settlers were quick to clear native vegetation in the district to provide timber for building and firewood for the Burra Mines. Cleared land also opened up pastures for grazing and arable land for agriculture. Once the layout of Burra and adjacent townships were established, gardens and street trees were planted to replace the tree cover, most often using species that were thought to offer a greater degree of amenity than the native trees they replaced.
The most common trees planted in streets during the early days were Elms, Kurrajong, White Cedars and White Acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia), trees which were also commonly planted as street trees in Adelaide. Other trees such as Peppers (Brachychiton species), Norfolk Island Hibiscus (Langunaria patersonii), and Aleppo Pine (Pinus halapensis) were also commonly planted.
Whilst many of these trees have grown successfully in Burra, some species such as the Elms have been gradually removed because of their size and suckering habit and other species such as Aleppo Pine (Pinus halapensis) are no longer used because of their classification as an environmental weed.
CURRENT USE
The majority of existing street planting in Burra consists of native trees although these are often interspersed with exotic trees either as individual specimens or short sections of the same species. The most common native trees are the White Cedar (Melia azederach) and Norfolk Island Hibiscus (Lagunaria patersonii). Other less common native trees include Sheoak (Allocasuarina verticillata), Native Pine (Callitris preissii) and Kurrajong (Brachychiton populneus).

Introduction
A variety of exotic trees have also been planted as street trees, including: Carob (Ceratonia siliqua) Pencil Pine (Cupressus sempervirens stricta) Common Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) Golden Rain Tree (Koelreuteria paniculata) Almond (Prunus amygdalus) Purple-leaved Plum (Prunus cerasifera ‘Nigra’) Pepper Tree (Schinus molle) English Elm (Ulmus procera) Allepo Pine (Pinus halepensis)
OBJECTIVES
Additional street tree planting is one way to have an immediate effect on the appearance and amenity of the public realm in the town. Where streets are wide and traffic volumes low, the opportunity exists to plant large trees in scale with the street, providing shade and increasing amenity.
The conditions under which street trees are required to grow are usually harsh. Constraints to successful establishment of street trees are:
• overhead and underground services which restrict species selection and place physical construction on tree growth • lack of water to the tree’s root zone • hard surfaces, such as paving surrounding trees, which may result in compaction of soil, lack of water penetration and reduced aeration of the root zone • microclimate factors such as wind, temperature and sunlight
Good tree form and health are dependent upon:
• adequate tree pits and the use of correct soil mixtures • provision of irrigation, either automatic or form water trucks • protection from vandalism and accidental damage from vehicles • avoiding compaction around the base of the trees and preferably within the drip zone • use of root control systems where required

Introduction
The following are objectives for street tree planting in the town:
1. Reinforce a hierarchy in the selection of species appropriate to the scale and use of the street. 2. Generally provide continuity and consistency along the whole length of the street. Priority should be given to establishing a single character along the length of a street rather than breaking streets into a number of precincts with different characters. 3. Reinforce a regional South Australian character in the choice of species, responding to the cultural significance of native and introduced species. 4. Encourage diversity in species selection to reinforce street identity and promote ecological diversity. 5. Reinforce existing street tree planting by infilling where possible and replacing poor specimens. 6. Conserve historical trees and avenues of trees. 7. Locate street trees considering the needs of overhead and underground services, vehicle sight-lines and in association with street lighting, street furniture and paving.
A co-ordinated approach to tree planting provides environmental and social benefits to the town. These include:
• the strengthening of the framework planting of trees in the town with their associated benefits of amenity, environmental and ecological values • a co-ordinated and consistent approach to street tree planting, with greater predictability in capital expenditure and maintenance requirements
A successful street tree planting programme requires a commitment to:
• allocation of funds for both capital and maintenance programmes • adoption of best horticultural practice in the propagation and placing of trees • implementation of an effective monitoring programme, together with adequate maintenance procedures

Introduction
PRINCIPLES
Context
1. The hierarchy of streets in the town should be reinforced by selection of species appropriate to the scale and type of the street. 2. Generally, continuity and consistency along the whole length of a street should be provided in preference to precincts with may cut across streets.
Placement
1. Placement of street trees should be determined in relationship with underground and overhead services, adjacent land uses, including heritage buildings and other significant features, views, buildings and driveway entrances, street and pedestrian lighting, and other street furniture elements. 2. Placement must consider safe vehicle sight-lines. 3. Street trees should preferably be located in footpaths at least 600 mm behind the kerb. 4. Where street trees are planted in road carriageways, trees should be protected by bollards.
Species Selection
1. The criteria for selection of street trees includes an ability to:
• grow under harsh environmental conditions • attain natural form and stature without interference (e.g. major pruning) • attain a clear trunk of at least two meters from the ground • have a branching habit that extends upwards from the trunk • have a deep rooting system that will not lift kerbs and paving • perform reliably and consistently in terms of form (shape and size) • not produce hard or squashy fruit, poisonous or allergic parts, or spines or thorns • not drop limbs unexpectedly or frequently
Street Trees in Burra North 6 Oxigen Landscape Architects March 2007
Introduction
2. The selection in individual streets depends on:
• scale - width of the street and height of the buildings on either side • use – related to use of adjacent buildings, access requirements and quantity of pedestrian and vehicle traffic • availability – not all trees are available from nurseries at all times and preference should be given to species which are readily available as semi- mature stock and at minimum cost.
The following tree species have proved successful in gardens in Burra and are recommended for street tree planting in Burra North:
Wide Streets (Large trees > 10 m)
SA Blue Gum (Eucalyptus leucoxylon ssp leucoxylon) Peppermint Box (Eucalyptus odorata) Blue Jacaranda Tree (Jacaranda mimosaefolia) Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) Kurrajong (Brachychiton populneus) White Cedar non fruiting variety (Melia azedarach)
Narrow Streets (Small trees 4 – 8 m)
Large Fruited SA Blue Gum (Eucalyptus leucoxylon ssp megalocarpa) Quorn Mallee (Eucalyptus porosa) Native Pine (Callitris preissii)
Street tree planting should also not preclude specific design solutions such as flowering and pleached trees where these can be grown successfully and may lead to distinctive and memorable streets.

Drooping Sheoak
Description
The Drooping Sheoak is a small tree, with a dense crown and weeping branches. The tree is an evergreen with needle-like branchlets that serve the function of leaves. The true leaves are tiny triangular scales. Trees in excellent condition show long, pendulous branchlets of delicate, grey-green foliage with a horizontally-striped trunk. These slow- growing trees become rounded balls of fine foliage with age (although coarser than other sheoaks), but as young trees they can appear very ungainly and sparse. In containers of whatever size, and until the tree is over 5m tall, A. verticillata looks poorly- grown, but this appearance will change with age.
Mature Height
It grows to a height of 5-10 m with a spread of 5 m.
Origin
Australia (South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania)
Uses Whole tree Excellent for shade, windbreaks, firewood or specimen.

Fraxinus excelsior ‘Aurea’
Common Ash
Description
The Common Ash is a tall, handsome tree. It is readily distinguished by its light-grey bark (smooth in younger trees, rough and scaly in older specimens) and by its large compound leaves, divided into four to eight pairs of lance-shaped leaflets, tipped by a single one, an arrangement which imparts a light feathery arrangement to the foliage. In April or May, according to season, and before the appearance of the leaves, the black flower-buds on the previous year's shoots expand into small dense clusters of a greenish white or purplish colour, some of the minute flowers having purple stamens, others pistil only, and some both, but all being devoid of petals and sepals, which, owing to the pollen being wind- borne, are not needed as protection, or as attraction to insect visitors.

Lagunaria patersonii
Norfolk Island Hibiscus
Description
Rather a surprising spectacle when the symmetrical pyramided shaped tree is in bloom in midsummer and covered with flowers which are in colours grading through rose-pinks to lilac. The flowers distinctly resemble the hibiscus, the stamens projecting from a central column, and indeed the tree is of the same family. The leaves are dull green, very pale underneath, and about 2 inches long. The seed capsules open to reveal five compartments and should be handled with care because of the fine sharp hairs.
Mature Height
It grows to a height of 10 m with a spread of 3 m.
Origin
Australia (Norfolk Island, Lord Howe Island, coastal Queensland, New South Wales)
Uses
It has useful white timber, and is a good beach tree.
Notes Whole tree
It is generally found on shallow limestone soils.
Whilst this tree grows successfully in Burra North, some people are allergic to the fine hairs in the seed capsules, and the continuance of its use as a street tree is not recommended.

Melia azedarach
White Cedar
Description
The fast-growing tree has an umbrella shaped habit. Its leaves are large and double-compound (having leaflets on leaflets). The leaves have long stems. Its leaflets are dark blue-green above, have toothed margins and are pointed. The leaves alternate along the stem. The mildly fragrant flowers are small, woolly and lilac-coloured, with 5 petals surrounding a purple tube. The flowers occur in spring in showy clusters at the ends of branches. The fruits are oval berries, changing from green to yellow, hanging from long stalks. Eventually they become brownish leathery seed capsules which will hang from the tree throughout the leafless winter months.
Mature Height
It grows to a height of 30 m with a spread of 6 m. Only in tropical parts it does become a tall tree.
Origin
Australia (Queensland, New South Wales), New Guinea
Uses Whole tree It is extremely useful for street and park planting in moderate or dry climate.
Notes
It is cold-hardy and drought-resistant and the berries are poisonous to pigs.
Whilst this tree is considered unpopular by some because of its seeds, White Cedar grows very successfully in Burra, is long-lived and casts an appropriate (and not heavy) shade. When flowering, it is spectacular.
