Ideas on How to Choose the Best Trees for Colorado Landscaping

Selecting the best trees for a specific area can be a lot of work, unless you’re already familiar with the region and you know a great deal about landscaping as well. Fortunately, Colorado is not much more challenging than other areas in the US. The difference is that the dry climate in Colorado can make it difficult to plant certain trees that require more water.

However, before even considering the type of tree you want to plant, get a clear picture of the available space above and below ground level, the soil pH and texture, sun exposure, weather fluctuations in your specific area and the various considerations related to the tree species you want to choose.

 Some of the trees you’ll want to avoid in Colorado include the silver maple, Siberian elm, aspen, white-barked birches, Russian-olive trees and virtually all types of willows.

 That being said, make sure you select only the healthiest trees, and learn as much as possible about the height and size of the tree as it grows, any special care considerations, watering needs and sensitivity to disease, pests and temperature changes.

A few of the best trees for the Colorado area include large and small evergreens like the Scots pine, Ponderosa pine and Pinon, as well as various species of hawthorn, oak, maple and crabapple. Before planting any of these trees make sure you understand their spacial and environmental requirements, and that you learn as much as possible about their long term care.
