Shrubs and low-growing species less than 20 feet tall at maturity may be planted beneath utility lines. Our staff will be happy to consult with property owners and municipalities in choosing the appropriate species. Bear in mind that even if these guidelines are followed, branches may grow into utility lines and must be trimmed. No plantings may take place in our Transmission line easements without consulting Central Hudson.
