TREES TREES 1847 Mtlia Azedarach, var. umbracitliformis, is found un- satisfactory in the immediate vicinity of the coast; as a sidewalk tree it is exceedingly untidy when losing its leaves, and is also much subject to scale insects. Acacia melanoxylon is generally debarred from the Citrous belt, as a breeder of scale; when mature it is said to suffer quickly from the effects of drought. In the moister climate of the immediate vicinity of the coast, near San Francisco, however, it proves entirely satisfactory. Poputus alba, Robinia Pseudacacia and Ulmus racemosa are exceedingly troublesome when used as sidewalk trees on narrow streets; their surface roots often break the cement or asphalt sidewalks, and the suckers come up in the midst of lawns several yards away from the parent tree. Ficus macrophyfta is another tree injuri- ous to sidewalks. Eucalyptus Globu- lus, and in fact almost all species of the ge- nus, are frequently debarred by townordi- nance from growth within GO or even 70 feet of a sewer, on ac- count of the remarka- ble length and pene- trating power of their roots. Pa u lownia imperi- alis is sometimes ob- jected to on account of the somewhat un- tidy appearance of the persistent seed - pods, which require no little labor if all are to be removed after flower- ing. Grevillea robust a has brittle wood and is usually much broken in heavy winds, but can be used with satisfac- tion if kept well cut back. The species of Phoe- nix and Jubsea should be avoided on account of their low, wide- spreading habit, ex- cept for avenues and boulevards where there is no sidewalk or where th
