Drought Tolerant Evergreen Trees

Washoensis populations do not warrant distinction as a variety or even a subspecies of P. Ponderosa is distinguishable in the field and certainly occurs at the type locality (Mount Rose, Nevada).

The foliage grows in dense, usually moderately decumbent and pendulous sprays of bright green, very slender, slightly flattened shoots. * Cupressus funebris is cultivated as an ornamental tree, due to its graciously weeping form and texture, and planted...

Extremely adaptable and common in the sandy or clay-sand ridges of Georgia. * A vanillin flavouring is obtained as a by-product of other resins that are released from the pulpwood.

* Jeffrey pine is more stress tolerant than the closely related Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa). The sharp Jeffrey pine cone scale barbs point inward, so the cone feels smooth to the palm of one's hand when rubbed down the cone.

* Cupressus lusitanica , ( Cedro Blanco ; Teotlate , distinctive names used in Mexico); Cedro Blanco means White Cedar and is also known as Mexican White Cedar , is a species of cypress native to Mexico and Central America ( Guatemala , El Salvador and...

Established plants are drought tolerant, succeeding in hot dry positions. * It is grown as an ornamental tree, often planted in temple grounds in Japan. * Juniperus rigida (Temple Juniper) is a species of juniper, native to northern China, Korea, Japan,...

* The Bishop Pine ( Pinus muricata ) is a pine with a very restricted range: mostly California , USA , including some offshore islands, and a few locations in Baja California , Mexico , and always on or near the coast, from Trinidad Head in Humboldt County,...

* It is a medium-sized evergreen tree with a conic to ovoid-conic crown. The seed cones are globose to oblong, 15-33 mm long, with 6 or 8 (rarely 4 or 10) scales, green at first, maturing gray or gray-brown about 20–24 months after pollination.

It is found only in China . * Picea crassifolia is a species of conifer in the Pinaceae family. * This species of spruce should be grown in areas where drought may be a concern. It is much more drought tolerant than most spruce species.

* It is also grown for the cut Christmas tree industry. * It is a popular ornamental tree found far beyond its native range. * The specific epithet pungens means "sharply pointed", referring to the leaves.

Within its natural area, it grows under extremely variable rainfall regimes, from less than 300 mm to several thousands, mostly due to differences in mist-capturing by the foliage.

* Growing up to 25-30m high and up to 1m in diameter. * The cones are cylindrical, 9-18 cm long, greenish-pink to purple before maturity. * Can tolerate dry and warm sites, can grow on various types of soil.

* "The slender, gracefully hanging leaves are 12" long,...making this a rather striking tree" (Wyman); grass-green needles, cones to 4 1/2"; often multitrunked; native to Mexico; sometimes used in Southern California.
