Trees for New Landscape

vegasrenie
20 years ago

Living in Las Vegas puts great limits on the types of trees that can be planted here. I'd like to get feedback on several that I'm considering. I have a pretty large back yard (or *will* have once escrow closes, LOL) and want to plant shrubs along a block wall (primarily to grow as shade for my two dogs) as well as a few nice trees. I figure I can probably get about 5 15-30ft high trees in my back yard. I'd like to get pros and cons for this environment since this is a first time for me.

The ones I'm considering are:

Honey Mesquite

Australian willow

oriental arborvitae (fence shrub, probably would consider dwarf variety)

Pomegranite (sp?)

Pistachio

Twisted Myrtle

Mulga

Blue Palo Verde or Palo Brea
