#[[Stormwater Tree Trenches]] - linear [[tree]] planting structures that feature supported impermeable or [[Permeable pavements]] that promote healthy tree growth while also helping to manage runoff. They are often located behind the curb within the road right-of-way and consist of subsurface trenches filled with modular structures and growing medium, or structurally engineered soil medium, supporting overlying sidewalk pavement. Retains and filters out pollutants and [[salt]] from urban sites and then allows water to drain into the local municipal storm swear system after a major storm event to help reduce peak flow of water entering into the system and reduces the likelihood of an overwhelmed storm sewer or local surcharge.

To help you select appropriate plants for your site, we've developed tables to indicate the suitability for use in LID features (see page links under Plant Selection).

*For resilient and robust planting, native species which can tolerate periods of drought and periodic inundation are recommended.

*Trees and shrubs should be offset from [[Inlet |inlets]] and [[Overflow |overflow outlet]] locations, and lowest-elevation portions of the LID facility, where sediment, trash and natural debris will accumulate, to ensure access for completing routine inspection and maintenance tasks is not hindered.

*Trees should not be planted directly over underdrain perforated pipes and may be better located at the perimeter of LID facilities instead.

*While it is not always necessary to use an exclusively native planting palette, invasive non-native plants (i.e., invasive exotics) should not be planted in LID practices.
