Native trees are species that have evolved in certain regions and so are suited to particular US hardiness zones, climates, soils and ecosystems. This makes them tough, resilient plants that seem to grow just fine with minimal fuss.
Over the years, I’ve planted various trees when working in different public and private gardens, and while there is so much variety, choosing one or two native options for your yard is always a good idea. They are more adaptable, and usually low maintenance, and who wouldn't want an easy-going plant as opposed to a high-maintenance one?
