It’s adapted to compaction as well as severe pruning. It can be easily transplanted during the spring and fall and is a great option for residential use because of its short, round shape. - **Freeman Maple** – This tree can reach upwards of 55 feet with a spread of up to 40 feet. Although it thrives better in moist soil, it is drought tolerant. The freeman maple is a great aesthetic choice because of its beautiful orange-red fall colors. - **Upright European Hornbeam** – This tree grows up to 35 feet and tolerates drought and heavy soil, although it is salt sensitive. This narrow tree provides an elegant look but can be a little slow to establish from bare root.
