Excerpt from Planting and Care of Shade Trees
Many of the early plantings of shade trees are from 75 to 100 years old. Because of the comparatively short life of some species of trees used and because of hard conditions under which shade trees often grow, we are now in a period in which the shade trees planted or left standing by early Illinois settlers are rapidly deteriorating and are dying in large numbers.
There is always an interest in the planting of new trees in new places, but we must not fail to recognize the heritage in trees left us by the early settlers. We have a definite obligation to care for the old trees to make them last as long as we can, to replant where old trees have died, or start replacements where the old trees are sure to die, and to set out new trees as cities progress and as new farmsteads are built.
