The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Tree Species

Published: 2025 • By Coronado Tree Farm

Choosing the right tree for your landscape is one of the most impactful decisions you can make for your property. A well-chosen tree provides shade, beauty, wildlife habitat, and increased property value for decades.

Consider Your Climate

Select species rated for your USDA hardiness zone. Trees that thrive in your local climate require less maintenance and are more resistant to pests and diseases.

Evaluate Your Space

Consider the mature height and spread of any tree before planting. Account for overhead power lines, underground utilities, buildings, and neighboring properties.

Soil and Water

Test your soil pH and drainage. Some trees prefer acidic soil while others thrive in alkaline conditions. Match water needs to your climate and irrigation capabilities.
