About this collection
Heat Tolerant Shrubs
A short list, restricted to species that carry a documented heat tolerance rather than an assumed one. Ziziphus nummularia and Ziziphus spina christi, Capparis decidua, Calotropis procera, Pistacia falcata and Acacia mellifera are the arid natives; Magnolia, Cuphea and Hydrangea appear where irrigation is reliable.
Several of these are shrubs only under pressure and become small trees where water allows, which changes the spacing calculation entirely. Confirm the intended habit before quantities are set. For the broader low water shrub range see drought tolerant shrubs for desert landscaping, and heat tolerant trees for the canopy equivalent.
