This list is merely intended to be used as a starting point. There are many more excellent native and non-native shade and ornamental trees that can be planted. The tree species and cultivars on this list should not be used exclusively for replacement planting or reforestation of large areas. The diversity of all tree species on individual streets, in neighborhoods, and in the entire community should be taken into consideration. Monocultures should be avoided.
