Different Trees For Your Commercial Property

Here in the desert, you might feel it is hard to find plants that thrive in the dry arid climate, however there are many plants that thrive in our desert environment. These plants Can be an eye catching addition to any landscape as well as attracting gorgeous butterflies and fast flying humming birds. Knowing more about the Valley of the Sun opens up many planting possibilites.

Museum Palo Verde
The Museum Palo Verde is fast becoming one of the most popular shade trees in landscapes throughout the southwest. The multi-trunked, sculptural shapes of these trees provide a stark contrast and beautiful accent to almost any landscape. The Museum Palo Verde is actually a hybrid of different, older Palo Verde species that brings the best qualities of each. This results in a fuller, vibrant yellow flower display with brighter green, thornless trunks. Museum Palo Verdes are the faster growing, higher blooming, cleaner cousins to the original Palo Verde. These trees allow landscapers to get the vibrant colors of the Palo Verde without the thorns and heavy litter of the originals. Plant anywhere that fast shade and wonderful golden spring color is desired.

Lilac Chaste Tree
Although the Vitex is known by many names it is best known for its beautiful spikes of purple blooms it has in the summer months.  The Vitex is prized for not only these unique desert blooms, but also for its natural ability to attract butterflies to one’s landscape. One of the plant's common names, monk's pepper, references the use of its seeds as a pepper substitute in monasteries, where it was prized for its intrinsic effects on virility.  The small stature and low maintenance requirements of the Vitex allow its unique properties to be brought into just about any landscape. The turning, twisting trunks contrast well with the larger, more uniform trees commonly seen in Sonoran landscapes. Vitex trees establish quickly and are well suited for full sun exposure.

Willow Acacias
Willow Acacias are an import from the arid regions of Australia, making them perfectly suited to growing here. Their growth rate makes them popular with folks seeking fast shade, but their cleanliness and unique appearance make them useful across many different landscape styles.  Its name comes from the fact that as it matures, its foliage weeps from upright branches, providing a similar look to a classic Willow tree.  Only Willow Acacias keep their leaves all year while using quite a bit less water than other Acacias.
