Most of the trees on this page are very useful in a native plant garden and many are available at your local nursery. True, most of the trees on this page grow quite large and are best suited to landscape designs with plenty of room. On the other hand, their natural adaptation to the climate and soil of our region mean they are pest and disease resistant and require a minimum of maintenance.
