Tree avenue or tree alley (allée) Tree avenues or tree alleys are planted trees lining straight roadways and entrance drives in order to enhance the approach to mansions or manor houses. Sometimes the avenues are in double rows on each side of a road. Trees preferred for alleys were selected for their height and speed of growth, such as poplar, beech, lime, and horse chestnut. In the American antebellum era South, the southern live oak was typically used, because the trees created a beautiful shade canopy. Sometimes tree avenues were designed to direct the eye toward some distinctive architectural building or feature, such as a chapels, gazebos, or architectural follys.〔Muir 2004,p.7〕 ==See also== * Alameda * Avenue of honour * Shade tree * Southern live oak 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tree Avenue or tree alley (allée)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
