The honey locust was named for the botanist Gottlieb Glcditsch and for its three-branched, 5 to 15-centimetre-long spines, which grow on the trunk and branches. It is a native of eastern North America, where it is found on moist, rich soils from Texas, northward to the 43rd parallel. It can tolerate drier situations, and is planted in tree belts in the prairies.
It is scattered. throughout woods at elevations ranging from hill country to heights of 1500 metres, growing mainly in the mountains. Preferring a cool, humid climate and a well- drained soil, it is found predominantly in mountain valleys, scree woods and alongside mountain streams. It reaches a height of 30 to 35 metres and a trunk diameter of 150 centimetres, living for several hundred years. The bark is grey-brown, and peels off in small flat plates; the upright buds are green, the scales edged with brown. The long-stalked leaves are opposite, and the greenish flowers appear in April and May.
The field maple is a slow-growing tree with a shallow root system. It produces a vigorous crop of stump suckers, and also puts out root suckers. It is generally found growing on well- drained, sun-warmed slopes amid other trees and in hedgerows. The hard wood is highly valued and used to make lathe-turned articles, in woodcarving and joinery.
The Box-elder is a native of North America, where it has a wide range of distribution, extending from California to Florida and northwards to Canada. It was introduced into Europe in 1688, and today is cultivated throughout the entire Continent, tolerating even, the climate of northern Europe. In some areas it is well naturalized and appears wild. It lives to an age of only a hundred years or so and reaches a height of 10 to 20 metres.
It is a fast-growing tree that requires abundant light but it is tolerant of a wide range of soil types and stands up well to dry weather and air pollution. It flourishes in light soil and its wide-spreading root system serves to bind sandy soil. It is marked by a vigorous production of stump and root suckers. It is easily damaged by severe cold, and is not suitable for planting in locations with frosty winters. The tree of heaven reaches a height of 20 to 25 metres, and develops a stout trunk with smooth dark grey bark.
The Norway maple is shade-tolerant and needs rich, moist soil for good growth. The wood is very like that of the sycamore in appearance and is used for similar purposes, but is not as highly valued. The Norway maple has many ornamental forms, including purple and variegated leaved kinds. It tolerates the smoky atmosphere of cities, and is popularly planted in parks and city streets.
