About this collection
Drought Tolerant Trees
The complete low water range, and the widest tolerance list in the catalogue. Ficus, Acacia and Lagerstroemia carry the volume, with Brachychiton, Olea, Plumeria, Dracaena, Corymbia, Flindersia, Leptospermum and Cassia extending it across arid, subtropical and coastal conditions.
Drought tolerance is a mature condition, not a planting condition: every one of these species needs reliable water for the first two years, and the commonest cause of loss on low water schemes is withdrawing irrigation too early. Write the establishment period into the contract. For the desert specific subset see trees for desert landscaping, and drought, salt and frost tolerant plants covers how the three tolerances interact.
