Native Trees and Shrubs

It is important to plant trees that are suitable to local environmental site conditions. Where possible always use native species.

Native trees and shrubs:

  • support a wider range of plants and animals than introduced species
  • maintain local character and conservation value
  • are better adapted to and thrive in particularly harsh local conditions
  • are more likely to survive and flourish than most introduced species.
