9BURLINGAME STAFF REPORT
To: Beautification Commission
Date: January 4, 2024
From: Rich Holtz, Parks Superintendent/City Arborist - (650) 558-7333
Carlie Burow, Parks Supervisor - (650) 558-7335
Subject: Updating of the City Street Tree Planting Lists
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Commission review the staff report and approve the updated street tree
planting list's species removals and additions.
BACKGROUND
Street tree planting lists are specific trees designated for the right-of-way space adjacent real
properties. The list was created to give property -owners various options to fit the City easement
adjacent their property while diversifying the urban forest. While many properties can choose
from the Street Tree lists, properties on Themed blocks do not. A Themed Block is a block in
which one defined street tree species is established and maintained indefinitely. These, however,
are not the subject of this discussion.
The current street tree list was last updated in 2021 and requires another update based on new
information available to City staff, including tree species performance Climate Change,
Burlingame's urban forest diversity needs, and ensuring the appropriately sized tree is assigned
to the appropriately sized planting location.
Current Process
When a street tree needs to be replaced, the current process includes sending a letter to the
homeowner stating they will be receiving a new tree. If their address isn't on a themed block,
they receive a list of trees that match their right-of-way planting strip area (4', 4-6', 6-8', utility, or
hillside view area). Each of the current City street tree planting lists have at least eight options
for the homeowner.
Reasons for the Updated Lists
Tree species must be hardy due to the change -induced stress on the trees amplified in urban
environments. Examples of hardships currently faced by street trees are the urban heat island
effect, increased impervious surfaces, reduced air quality, altered soils from construction, root
cuttings for road/sidewalk maintenance, vehicular damage, vandalism, and reduced natural
water. In addition, as the climate changes, weather patterns are continually evolving in our area.
The trees must withstand severe storms and drought.
In addition, Climate Change is expected to increase the saline content of soil as the sea rises.
Although this is not foreseen to be an issue within the next decade, it is expected within the next
50 years, starting at the Bayfront and continuing throughout the lowest parts of Burlingame. Not
all trees survive in saline conditions despite how minimal the salinity is.
Also, recycled or purple water, although a great way to minimize wastewater, can negatively affect
trees. The City is looking to implement recycled water to irrigate parks. Use of recycled water
Citywide is many years down the road, but has been discussed in recent years. Recycled water
can be high in salt, which can lead to poor health.
Another consideration is root intrusion since street trees are placed where many utilities and
public infrastructure already exist. This increases the potential of tree roots to invade existing
infrastructure. Paved areas are a challenge due to buckling or bumps from growing roots. Some
trees are more susceptible to creating infrastructure issues, making them unsuitable as a street
tree option. Tolerance to root pruning is another factor as the City repaves surfaces or maintains
underground utilities.
Tree shape, growth pattern, growth rate, and branch attachment are also other reasons to update
the Street Tree list.
DISCUSSION
Based on the above considerations, staff proposes the following removals and additions to the
Street Tree lists.
A. 4' Street Tree List
Remove Crataegus phaenopyrum, Maytenus boaria, Pittosporum undulatum, and Prunus
cerasifera (4). Reasons to eliminate Crataegus phaenopyrum include not faring well with
the ongoing struggles within the right of way, such as ongoing pruning and susceptibility
to pests. Maytenus boaria is slow growing and has become an issue for maintaining legal
street and sidewalk clearance while sustaining good structure and ANSI standard pruning.
Pittosporum undulatum is notorious for dropping berries and contracting root rot due to
poor drainage and lack of an aesthetic form. Prunus cerasifera is considered a slow -
growing tree and is susceptible to pests and diseases such as borers, aphids, scale,
leafhoppers, caterpillars, beetles, leaf spots, dieback, leaf curls, powdery mildew, root rot,
and fire blight. These trees can also be a nuisance if they drop fruit and have a short life
span of twenty years or less.
Add Chilopsis linearis, Jacaranda mimmosifolia, Laurus nobilis `saratoga', Parkinsonia
praecox, and Parrotia persica `vanessa' (5). Each of these trees brings new aspects and
life to the urban forest. Chilopsis linearis has stunning fragrant pink flowers, is deciduous,
and is drought tolerant. Jacaranda mimosifolia has beautiful, long-lasting purple flowers
and can withstand a small planter strip. Laurus nobilis `saratoga' is an evergreen with a
moderate growth rate and round canopy. Parkinsonia praecox is a fast-growing deciduous
tree with mesmerizing yellow flowers. Parrotia persica Vanessa' is a deciduous, slow
growing tree with a deep gold fall color and clumps of red flowers.
B. 4'-6' Street Tree List
Remove Aesculus x carnea, Fraxinus angustifolia, and Magnolia grandiflora (3). Aesculus
x carnea has been found to have a weak branch attachment, making the tree susceptible
to limb failure. Fraxinus angustifolia is less drought tolerant than previously believed, and
being in a water deficit can predispose this tree to infection, limb death, and the pest
Emerald Ash Borer. The Magnolia grandiflora `St Mary' `is a slow -growing tree and is
recommended for removal for reasons similar to the Maytenus boaria, above.
Add Acer davidii, Quillaja saponaria, and Olea europaea `swan hill' (3). Acer davidii has
striking bark and a beautiful fall color. Quilaja saponaria is an evergreen that is a slow -
grower with yellow or cream flowers. O/ea europaea `swan hill' is a fruitless olive tree with
silver leaves that leaves minimal pollen.
C. 6' or more Street Tree List
Remove Magnolia grandiflora `samuel sommers' due to the lack of wind resistance and
an increase in branch failures likely from drought.
Add Angophora costata, Arbutus menziesii, Quercus douglasii, Quercus hypoleucoides,
Quercus lobata, Schinus molle, and Quillaja Saponaria (7). Angophora costata is an
evergreen with red bark and a wide canopy. Arbutus menziesii is an evergreen with
striking bark, fragrant flowers, and a rounded canopy. Quercus douglasii is deciduous
with bluish -green leaves, drought tolerant, strong branch attachments, and a wide rounded
canopy. Quercus hypoleucoides is an evergreen with a large rounded canopy and strong
branch attachments. Quercus lobata is deciduous, large, and a round canopy. Schinus
molle is an evergreen with a willow -like canopy with fragrant pink berries in the summer.
Quillaja saponaria is an evergreen that is a slow -grower with yellow or cream flowers.
D. Utility Street Tree List
Remove Acer rubrum, Maytenus boaria, Pittosporum undulatum, Platanus aceriflolia, and
Prunus cerasifera. The reason for removing the Acer rubrum is the increase in root
invasion, growth height that conflicts with overhead utilities, and a medium/weak branch
attachment. Mayten boaria, Pittosporum undulatum, and Prunus cerasifera's reasons for
removal are noted above. Platanus aceriflolia should be removed due to the full-grown
size these trees can achieve and their interference with utility lines.
Add Jacaranda mimosifolia, Laurus nobilis `saratoga', Parkinsonia praecox, Parrotia
persica Vanessa, and Plumeria rubra (5). Plumeria rubra is an evergreen with fragrant
flowers and waxy leaves. The other 4 are described above.
E. Hillside Street Tree List
Remove Maytenus boaria, Pittosporum undulatum, Platanus aceriflolia, and Prunus
cerasifera. Maytenus boaria, Pittosporum undulatum, Prunus cerasifera's reasons for
removal are mentioned above. In addition, the Platanus aceriflolia should be removed
due to the height and promoting diversity as these are the majority of Burlingame's tree
population.
Add Jacaranda mimosifolia, Laurus nobilis `saratoga', Parkinsonia praecox, Parrotia
persica Vanessa" and Plumeria rubra (5) as described above.
The proposed new lists have upwards of 12 options each for property owners to choose from.
Staff is also requesting input from the Commission about the below questions.
1. Are there any trees the Commission would like to keep on the list despite the issues the
City has experienced?
2. Are there any trees that the Commission would suggest the City Arborist and Parks
Supervisor look into adding?
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact is unknown at this time.
