Evergreen
Water Wise
Attracts Wildlife
California Native

This California native provides a wide-spreading, dense canopy that makes it an excellent year-round shade tree. It thrives in Sacramento’s hot dry climate and needs very little water once established. Dark green leaves that have toothy edges when young eventually mature to be smooth-sided, providing attractive contrast with light gray bark. As an essential part of Sacramento’s ecosystem, this evergreen tree is a great choice for wildlife enthusiasts who want to support native habitats.
