The criteria used to select a shade tree
may
include:
growth rate
deep roots
maintenance required
low litter
fall color or seasonal flowers
pest resistance
tolerance of lawn watering or drought
the high salt content and high pH of Davis water
low allergy potential
whether the tree is native.
YOU decide which of these criteria are most important!
