While many people can get behind planting more trees, the question of which tree to plant is often a thorny one. It's complicated by the fact that native trees aren’t always the ones that will survive in a particular area.Bryan Vejar of the nonprofit TreePeople said the organization prefers to plant native trees when possible, but non-native trees are sometimes more adaptable to climate change and L.A.'s heat island effect.
Certain tree species tend to do best in certain areas of greater Los Angeles, since the region has several microclimates. The coastal live oak is a TreePeople favorite for its large canopy. The Catalina ironwood thrives in coastal regions, being native to the Channel Islands, though it can also survive in warmer inland climates.“Of those 15 or so species, willows and cottonwoods are high-water usage trees,” Vejar said.
But the built environment of Southern California, with its concretized channels and higher temperatures due to heat island, is substantially different from most of the natural environment. As such, it’s not always possible to plant native trees in urban areas. The tricky part, according to Vejar, is that as the climate changes, certain species might become so well-adapted to the point that they make it difficult for competing species to grow., which monitors the growth of plant species across the state and assesses if and when certain species have crossed over to becoming invasive.Even when it’s not invasive, there’s such a thing as too much of a certain tree — but the conventional wisdom on that definition has changed over the years.
