Ever wondered how we select what trees to plant? Three factors guide our Right Tree, Right Place philosophy.


1. Microclimate (e.g sun, fog, shade, wind).


2. Site-specific factors (e.g. communication, electric, gas, and sewer lines; sidewalk width; distance from buildings).


3. Cultural and aesthetic value (e.g. feng shui, flower color, leaf drop, neighborhood cultural history).
