Princeton Borough Shade Trees - List

Princeton Borough's Engineering Department has compiled a list of the shade trees planted in our town from 1992 through 2010.

Please note that while these are generally trees that grow well in New Jersey, and are suitable for planting along streets and sidewalks, the Borough encourages a diverse tree population.  Residents considering planting trees in their own yards may want to consider other tree species native to our region.
