INTRODUCTION
The distinctive and enduring oak trees scattered across the state’s valleys, woodlands and foothills have come to symbolize California’s native landscape. These trees are admired for their natural beauty, longevity and value to wildlife and the environment. Despite this admiration and concern for preserving oaks, developers and homeowners often damage trees inadvertently as they build homes and install landscaping around them. Although tough and resilient, oak trees can be decimated by construction- related injuries and by changes in soil aeration and moisture levels. This book has been prepared to help you landscape appropriately around oaks. By recognizing their basic growing requirements and environmental tolerances, you can incorporate existing oaks into your landscape without jeopardizing their health. A list of plants compatible with the environmental requirements of native oaks is provided. While comprehensive, the list of plants is by no means complete. Preference has been given to plants that are readily available. Proper irrigation practices and tree care tips to maintain tree health are also discussed.
