Trees For Desert Landscapes

Many folks new to the desert think that trees grown in an arid environment are small, harsh, shrubby specimens with little to offer. One trip to any given neighborhood in the desert will prove otherwise. Desert trees are not only lush and large, they produce incredible blooms and out-of-this-world trunks.

The Hong Kong Orchid grows well in the desert. The blooms have a faint, sweet smell.

Whether it's the beautiful green trunk of the palo verde or the heavenly scent of a citrus blossom the desert has tons of great trees to offer your warm-climate landscape. When in doubt, take a look around a desert botanical garden, you won't be disappointed.
