Trees will be non-native ornamentals that have been selected for their pest resistance, adaptability to local environmental conditions, size and shape, shade capacity, and minimal nuisance potential. Planting stock will consist of 15-gallon size containers. All trees will be planted, staked and tied, watered and maintained in accordance with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's tree planting guidelines. A public education program will complement the tree planting project.
