About this collection
Salt Tolerant Trees for Oceanfront Properties
The hardest coastal position, where salt spray and constant wind arrive together and there is nothing in front of the planting. Casuarina, Thespesia, Coccoloba uvifera, Pandanus, Conocarpus erectus, Tamarix aphylla, Metrosideros excelsa, Pittosporum tobira and Pinus thunbergii are the species that hold that line.
Front row planting will always be shorter and more wind sheared than the same species behind shelter, and specifying it to a uniform height will simply produce a failed row. Design the profile to rise away from the water. See salt tolerant trees for the wider list, trees for windbreaks for the shelter structure, and planting palettes for coastal resorts for the full method.
