THE PLANT PALETTE
It is necessary and tting that the Living Legacy project establish a de ned plant
palette. The palette will help establish a consistent and recognizable imprint for
the National Scenic Byway. The trees selected for this palette have symbolic,
historic, or cultural signi cance.
NATIVE SPECIES
From the beginning of the project, the mandate that all trees be native to the
National Heritage Area has been clear. The Living Legacy Project is a bold
celebration of the local culture and ecology of the region, so it is tting that
native species compose the palette. The ecological bene is of using native trees
has been widely documented. They support more wildlife, from leaf -eating
Lepidoptera to small mammals. They are generally adapted to many of the
conditions of the corridor. Because they have evolved within the region, their
colors, fonns, and patterns express the unique sense of place.
THE PRIMARY PALETTE
The plant palette is divided into a primary and secondary palette. The purpose of
this division is to give certain weight to key symbolic trees. The primary palette
consists of four basic trees, though the cultivars and individual species are also
included in that list. Each of the four basic groups represents one tree that is a
highlight for a particular season, Redbuds for spring, Oaks for summer, Maples
for fall, and Red Cedars for winter.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PRIMARY PALETTE
The primary palette will make up at least 75% of the species within the right of
way. The goal is to establish a bold imprint for visitors travelling along the NSB.
Larger plantings beyond the right of way such as groves and forests can be more
mixed, though the more visible edges of these groups should use primary palette
species more heavily.
PRIMARY PALETTE
PLANT LIST
The following list of tree species
represent acceptable primary palette
species and cultivars. For straight
species, plant seeds should be
harvested within a 200 mile radius
of the National Heritage Area
REDBUD
Cercis canadensis, Eastern Redbud
For residential settings, the
following cultivars are acceptable:
Cercis canadensis `Forest Pansy'
Cercis canadensis `Burgandy
Hearts' & `Rising Sun'
OAKS (Focus on red foliage
color)
Quercus coccinea, Scarlet Oak
Quercus rubra, Red Oak
Quercus shumardii, Shumard Oak
Quercus palustris, Pin Oak
Quercus macrocarpa, Bur Oak
Quercus alba, White Oak
Quercus acutissima, Sawtooth Oak
RED MAPLES
Acer rubrum, Red Maple
The following cultivars are
acceptable and should make up at
least 70% of Red Maples within
the right of way of the NSB.
Acer rubrum `October Glory'
Acer rubrum `Autumn Flame'
Acer rubrum 'Red Sunset'
Acer rubrum `Autumn Blaze'
Acer rubrum `Autumn Fantasy'
Acer rubrum `Brandywine'
Acer rubrum `Somerset'
Acer rubrum 'Sun Valley'
For street tree plantings, columnar
forms of Red Maples such as
`Annstrong,' `Columnare,' and
`Bowhall' can be considered.

THE ACTORS
SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE
Redbuds are one of the most adaptable and
oriferous native understory trees. Redbuds
bloom when other trees have yet to leaf out,
making them that much more vivid. They do
well as a forest understory tree or in a sunny
eld. They are aggressive generalists that
thrive in the heavy competition of hedgerows.
Their ornamental features can be associated
with remembering the war dead, including the
reddish -purple color (blood, valor) and their
heart -shaped leaves (love, sacri ce).
RED OAKS
(QIIercus sp.)

•

summer
SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE
Oaks are among the most stately and majestic
trees in the Eastern forests. Of the many "witness
trees" still living on Civil War battle elds, oaks
are among the most numerous, including a
particularly famous copse of Oaks that marked
Pickett's Charge. Oaks possess a rich symbolic
history, particularly as a marker for war dead.
The trees mighty stature, their strength, and
longevity all make them a clear choice for the
Living Legacy Project.
RED MA
(Acer r
I
fa !
SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE
Red Maple is possibly the most widely
distributed tree in eastern North America. No
tree offers as much drama in color as the Red
Maple. It is the rst tree to leaf out in the spring,
with garnet buds and samaras; its silver bark
is striking in the winter; and it is the rst and
most brilliant tree in fall. The purity of the red
color in fall is without rival. The association of
this red with the memory of Civil War soldiers
would make a dramatic statement about blood,
sacri ce, and honor.

SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE
The Red Cedar may be the most predominant
native plant already along the NSB. It is highly
adaptable and capable of withstanding poor
and compacted soils. A young Red Cedar has a
form almost human in shape. Grouped together
or arranged in an allee, Cedars recall soldiers
marching or standing in a eld a witness to the
passage of time. Cedars' foliage is evergreen,
making it an ideal candidate for screening or
framing views. Perhaps the best feature of
Cedars is how elegantly they age over time.
27
THE SECONDARY PALETTE:
THE SUPPORTING ACTORS
While the purpose of the primary palette is to provide cohesion and impact,
the secondary palette provides diversity and exibility. The secondary palette
supports the primary palette by adding depth, richness, and diversi cation to the
larger gesture.
WHY A SECONDARY PALETTE IS NECESSARY:
Ecological Diversity: 620,000 trees of just four species represents a very large
near -monoculture, especially when the species planted are already present in
large numbers in the existing landscape. A serious species-speci c insect or
disease could move through the population quickly and take out a very large
percentage of the total planting. The secondary palette provides some diversity
to the overall planting. The secondary palette also helps with nursery availability
and site adaptability.
Visual Diversity and Depth: A secondary palette also helps to temper the impact
of the primary palette, preventing the restricted palette from monotonizing the
already diverse landscape. The white blooms of Dogwoods and Serviceberries,
for example, will add sparkle and depth to the sweep of Redbuds in spring, and
intensify the red color theme in the fall.
SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
The secondary palette offers a wider arsenal for the variety of conditions that
one will encounter along the NSB. For example, American Sycamores grow
well along wet streambanks and are an appropriate selection for marking where
the NSB crosses streams and rivers. Sassafras trees are often found woven into
agricultural hedgerows. Planting Sassafras in front of existing hedgerows may
be one way of adding red fall color to these areas. American Hollies may be a
way of getting evergreen screening in areas too shady for Eastern Red Cedars.
While a secondary palette is important, their distribution should always be less
than the primary palette, particularly along the NSB.
SECONDARY PALETTE
PLANT LIST
For straight species, plant seeds
are required to be harvested within
a 200 mile radius of the National
Heritage Area. The plants are
arranged in order of the preferred
distribution, with the heaviest at
top.

04 - RURAL TRANSITIONAL
The Rural Transitional zone is
characterized by rural landscapes that
transition to towns. This zone has a high
degree of land use diversity that often
results in a visually chaotic assemblage
of gas stations, fast food restaurants,
and commercial establishments. In
addition, powerlines, narrow medians,
and dense scrubby vegetation on road
shoulders constrain the potential for
planting trees.
The goal of planting in this zone is to
visually unify the corridor and immerse
the visitor into an experience of the
landscape. Well placed trees have the
potential to focus visitors' attention
away from non -scenic developments
to the landscape itself.
Trees must serve the double purpose
of screening and beautifying the
road. The shoulders are often the
most highly constrained areas. As a
result, land beyond the right of way
should be considered for maximum
impact. Access roads and frontage
on privately -owned land should be
considered for planting. In addition
to the shoulders, the median offers the
best opportunity to reduce the scale of
the road and create a more intimate
experience of the landscape.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES: RURAL TRANSITIONAL ZONES
USE TREES TO SCREEN AND SEPARATE:
The rural transition zones often include unsightly developments scattered through
an otherwise rural area. On the shoulders of the road, use clusters of understory
and evergreen trees to both enhance and screen these developments. Use canopy
clusters in medians to block and frame views of developments on the other side
of the road.
CREATE A MORE INTIMATE EXPERIENCE OF THE ROAD:
Great scenic byways give visitors the feeling of being absorbed in an intimate
04 - RURAL TRANSITIONAL
experience of a landscape. Place canopy trees in medians and mixes of canopy,
understory, and evergreen trees along the shoulders to narrow the space around
the road. Use guardrails to allow canopy trees to be placed close to the shoulder.
CREATE LEGIBILITY AND RHYTHM:
Rural transitional zones often lack cohesive, character -de ning elements.
Repeat clusters of trees to give this zone visual legibility. Vary the size and
spacing of tree clusters for variety and rhythm.

AREA B - LEESBURG BYPASS TO HIGHWAY 104
Existing Conditions
The stretch of road from the Leesburg bypass to Highway 704 is primarily a
2-lane undivided road with larger width and additional lanes depending on
adjacent land density. The surrounding area is characterized by both residential
communities and agriculture. Much of the commercial development in the area
is directly adjacent to the road. The varied character of the area would bene t
from a uni ed planting scheme and plantings to screen some of the development.
Powerlines on either side of the road will need of be accomodated.
Design Treatment
Vegetation along side the residential developments and powerlines
adjacent to the agricultural land restrict the use of canopy trees from.
Planting dense clusters of understory trees will help to screen some of
the development and unify the variying landscapes and vegetation next to
the road. When possible, canopy trees should be planted on medians with
understory trees along the shoulders to narrow the feel of the road and
ease the transition from the multi -lane sections to the 2-lane undivided
sections.

AREA B - SOUTH OF LEESBURG, FAIRFAX STREET SE TO LEESBURG PASS
Existing Conditions
Just South of Leesburg before the bypass interchange, the NSB travels through
a section of suburban commerical and residental development. The 4-lane road
is occasionally wide enough to accomodate grass medians. sidewalks and light
posts, and powerlines are impedements to plants along the side of the road.
Business owners control much of the available greenspace adjacent to the road.
Example of Planting Concept
Design Treatment
The density of the corridor presents a challenge to the development of the JTHG
brand and a broader feel of cohesion. the planting of smaller understory trees
wherever possible along the roadside will help create the identiy desired while
not blocking views towards local businesses. Exisitng trees planted along the
road should be `adopted.' Clusters of owering understory trees should be
planted on the medians.

PARKS
There are numerous parks located along the NSB. Often these parks maintain
open lawns adjacent to the roadway. The planting of larger clusters, copses,
groves or forests of canopy trees on these open lawns would signi cantly
enhance the branding of the NSB and provide unique views for both motorists
and visitors to the parks.
Ida Lee Park, Leesburg, VA
Ida Lee Park is located on the northern edge of Leesburg, VA. The park maintains
an expansive mowed lawn adjacent to route 15, which provides the perfect
opportunity t oexplore the planting of larger clusters, copses, groves or forests
of canopy trees. These plantings should be set back signi cantly from the road,
creating a picturesque view.

106 THE LIVING LEGACY TREE PROJECT: MASTER PLAN REPORT
10- FUTURE PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS/CHANGES
Overtime, local and state authorities will expand or update the NSB as new
development along the corridor occurs. new construction may change the
character of the surrounding area and the streetscape. It is important to
identify these impending changes so that appropriate recomendations for
new planting can be made to the relevant local stakeholders. If an area
transitions out of its current character zone, the planting scheme of a more
relevant character zone should be adopted and pursued.
The follow list of proposed future changes was compiled from each
county's comprehensive plan.
