Coastal Landscaping Trees
Coastal sites fail planting schemes in a specific order: salt burn on new growth, then wind shear on the crown, then root failure in free draining sand. The species here are chosen because they hold through all three, led by Pandanus, Barringtonia, Cordia sebestena, Pittosporum tobira and the Waterhousia and Flindersia selections.
Distance from the water line changes the answer more than latitude does, so specify the front row and the second row separately rather than applying one palette across the whole site. Salt tolerant trees is the harder edge of this list, trees for sandy soils covers the ground conditions, and planting palettes for coastal resorts sets out how the three factors combine.
