Street Tree Project

If I had to pick one of these trees' leaves to use as toilet paper, I'd definitely select the western redbud because its leaves are smooth. I certainly don't think either one of the pines would work.

I believe street trees definitely make my neighborhood more pleasant because they add so much beauty. They're lovely.

One benefit to planting non-native plants in our cities is that they may be less up keep.

One con to planting non-native plants is that they might require a lot more water than native plants, which is bad for a state prone to drought.
