TOP 3 TALL GROWING CALIFORNIA NATIVE PLANTS

In any landscape (if you have the room) it is nice to add plants that are tall to not only add interest, but to also add some shade.  The trick is to add just a few in your garden to do what you want them to do.  For example you could plant a deciduous tree by a window that typically gets a lot of light.  This will block the light during the summer but not during the winter.  You could also add tall trees in an area of the yard where you might want to sit.  Whether you want to sit under a tree of have shade to a patio area a tall tree is perfect.

The ones in this video are:

• Cercis occidentalis - Western Redbud
• Platanus racemosa - California Sycamore
• Quercus agrifolia - Coast Live Oak
