refers to the proper use of plants in utility rights-of-way, easements, and beneath utility lines. However, in many cases, utility companies would prefer minimal planting within their rights-of-way and beneath electric lines because these plantings may increase their required maintenance costs associated with reliable power transmission. The reality of requiring no planting in utility rights-of-way is unrealistic. As a result, most companies promote the use of smaller, less aggressive, urban-adapted trees.
