California Trees

Finding the best trees for your California landscape can be challenging. With the climate ranging from dry, drought prone and hot, to cool and moist – it’s no wonder! And each region of California – Southern California, the Bay Area, Sierra Nevada, Central Valley and even the desert around Joshua Tree – has a different soil condition due to availability of water, soil types, temperature ranges, and light.

Such a large state is worthy of two state trees, the California Redwood and Giant Sequoia. Reaching as tall as 300 ft. or more and with a base of up to 23 ft. in diameter, the saplings of these trees may reach 65 ft. tall in only twenty years.

Most California lawns would not be able to support these trees – some of the largest in the world. You might want to consider instead the Thuja Green Giant or Leyland Cypress as good, fast growing evergreen choices for your California lawn.

The Best Trees for Planting in California

With its varied landscape, other California tree choices should include specimens that are highly adaptable to a variety of soil conditions, demonstrating drought-resistance as well as mildew and disease resistance.

Look for types of trees that are fast growing, hardy, and are perhaps even native plants to California. It’s important to garden smart in California, planning for drought and other extreme conditions. We suggest our Drought Resistant Evergreen, a hardy cypress for California that can live for long periods without water. Whether you are looking for screening evergreen trees, cypress trees, shade trees, or flowering trees such as the Kwanzan Cherry, you’ll find the right tree for planting in your California region at the Fast Growing Trees Nursery.

A Large Variety of California Trees

Wherever your location – San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles or Sacramento – our California tree suggestions offer a wide selection of trees for the varied California landscapes – from the fast growing Arapaho Crape Myrtle to the shade giving Autumn Purple Ash.
