Reply To: Parking Lot Landscape Islands, what is the best approach?

[James Couillard]

Please see http://hort.ifas.ufl.edu/pubs/abstracts/efg/efg9605.shtm regarding root barriers. 

 

and http://hort.ufl.edu/woody/spacing.shtml about spacing, which is great by the way.

 

and lastly, http://miami-dade.ifas.ufl.edu/pdfs/disaster/Hurricane%20Preparation%20files/Where%20to%20put%20the%20money,%20the%20tree%20or%20the%20hole.pdf.

 

They are all great resources.  This is a great topic.  Islands can be tough.
