The following trees have been picked because they are relatively climate appropriate. Keep in mind that 'climate appropriate' means more than just low water use. Many east coast and european trees require not only water but also cold winters in order to remain healthy. Also, many tropical trees are frost sensitive here and have problems with frost either killing or damaging them. To find a specimen of these trees here at the Arboretum just click on the icon for that tree in the map above. For more information on each tree just click on the link associated with its name and it will take you to the Cal Poly Selectree Database entry for that tree if it exists.
