- These are a few of my top selections for trees to use in a parkway, curb-strip, or adjacent to the street. We are looking at Geijera parviflora (Australian Willow), Tristania conferta (Brisbane Box), and Pistacia chinensis (Chinese Pistache). They all share some similar characteristics that make them great for this application. We also chat briefly about a sidewalk-damaging tree (Magnolia grandiflora), and touch on two methods to encourage downward growth of root. One being a root barrier, and the other a deep watering system in which perforated pipes are used.
There's a lot more of these vids coming up so please be sure to like and subscribe! That just helps us get more helpful vids out to folks who are searching for the right information.
More info on these trees and other cool stuff!

Happy planting!
i literally just wanted to watch a video about my favorite tree, and this shit delivered
Hahaa the best comment thus far 🙌 Cheers! 🍻
The first one is known as the Wilga Tree in Australia.
Australian Willows are great. We have planted a few and looking forward to seeing them mature. We also like Shiny Xylosma in tree form as a small evergreen tree that is relatively clean/easy maintenance, loves full sun, and drought tolerant. If you have any experience with Shiny Xylosma trees, please share. We have had the Xylosma for just under a year. Thanks.
I’ve seen some beautiful mature Xylosma. They do make a really nice accent or screening tree! Thanks for watchin 😎
Great advice and best TH-cam video homeowners need understand.
well explained,m thank you ~
Thanks for watching!!

Great video !!! Any advice on some other parkway trees that i might be able to assist in redirecting downward root growth ? Was really liking Royal Empress, Jacaranda. Hybrid Poplar......
Gerry from San DIego, CA
Thanks brotha! I might suggest to stay away from the Jacaranda… Although it’s incredibly majestic, the messy drop tends to outweigh the benefits. If you have a south western theme landscape, then the Prosopis chilensis or Cercidium Desert Museum are good ones. I also like Brachychiton. It’s evergreen and generally less messy than many other trees. And Crape Myrtle is a good classic! Hope this helps!
Which variation of Brachychiton.....Acerifolius, Rupestris, Populneus ???
Thnx again !!!
+Gerald Velasco Id go with the populneus. Just do a deep watering method on these and you’ll be good!
Hi Dominic, one thing about the Chinese pistache - it gives me heartburn every spring/summer because it's so late in leafing out. Come early June all my other deciduous shade trees are in full leaf, but the pistache is still bare. One hot summer a few years ago it even got bark burn due to lack of a covering crown. I've finally learned not to worry, it's not dead, it's just slow.
I'm located between Burbank and Pasadena, near Montrose.
If I may add, my favorite is the crape myrtle, both for spring bloom and fall color. It has a fantastic bark too. Several of my neighbors (and myself) use them for street trees. I have a large lot, so my larger trees (liquidamber and sycamore) are located in the backyard. I do worry about the pest that vectors the bacteria (?) that's making its rounds in SoCal. Can you comment on it?
Hey there! Yes there’s many of the Pistaches in the area and they are always late to the game to regain their foliage. But it’s worth it…they’re majestic! Not too familiar with any new pests but I’m sure we will need keep an eye out on the nursery grounds. Thanks for watching!
@@BudgetPlants hi Dominic; I was unclear in my description of the trees affected by that pest - it’s the American Sweetgum (liqidamber); the symptom is “burned” foliage due to the transport tubes getting mucked up.
By the way, is your facility open to the public (walk ins) or just internet sales. I’d be delighted to visit you.
Ahh understood. We have not had that affect our liquidambars, but we do occasionally get blight on our pyrus that we have to treat.
Unfortunately our growing grounds are not open to the public. We are set up for online delivery only. But if there’s something your interested in, we can send a yard photo. Would love to help!
"..then dont plant a tree" got me
Very good video! I live in Los Angeles area, and I would like to plant a tree in my back yard that gives shade to a sitting area and is not too tall. What tree would you recommend for a medium size back yard? I looked at the Desert Museum Palo Verde and the Chilean Mesquite, both of them are beautiful, but they need a lot of space to spread out. Please advise! Thank you!
Thanks! So yeah the Palo Verde and Mesquite are actually considered a ‘small’ to ‘medium’ tree. This would be the smallest you would want to go for any type of shade casting. However if you want to go smaller, check out Dodonaea Purpurea. These can be trimmed to make a small patio tree. Max height would be about 12’. Hope this helps!

Any tips on trimming a Brisbane Box to grow more umbrella/spread like? I purchased a couple from you folks a year ago. Growing tall but trying to promote horizontal growth up top.
By nature, they want to grow more upright than out. This makes them ideal screening trees. You can begin to prune taller branches to encourage lateral growth, but it won’t significantly spread until they are more mature.
Chinese Pistache 'Keith Davey' is a variety that doesn’t drop any fruit, if that’s a deterrent.
Love the videos. Any advise on types of plants for smaller backyards. Need plants not necessarily hedge plants bit more for privacy. Any suggestion for trees that don’t spread roots out too much thank you in advance
Hey! Let me know what city your in and I can direct you to some plants :)
Thank you for your response. San Diego. California
Oh cool, pretty close! I did a video for plants that will do well here in a western climate. These are fantastic plants that are super easy to grow.

In terms of a tree that has a lighter root system, check out the Tristania or Brachychiton. I did a vid on them (the one you saw already) recommending them for parkway/street trees. I like them because they are evergreen and have a fairly non-invasive root system. I’d still recommend a deep-watering setup in smaller spaces though.
Another good small accent tree is the Dodonaea. It is sometimes used as a screening hedge but can also be trimmed to be a single tree.

What is the name of the trees that have many fine branches ؛ I saw them in Paris
Like ur videos... Keep adding thanks.
Many thanks!! Going to try to keep em comin :)
Good job - well explained. For future reference, Brisbane is pronounced brizz-bin
Haha came here to say this,

That was a terrific video and so helpful. Do you have any videos about trees near a pool and berm retaining wall behind the pool?
Thanks!! So generally, trees with larger leaves are more desirable by pools because they’re easier to skim out and don’t clog filters. This is one reason why various types of palms are popular. Magnolias can also work well so long as they’re not in close proximity to piping and the pool shell.
@@BudgetPlants thanks for the ideas! 👍
Do Chinese pistache trees always change colors or do they need a cold snap? I live in San Diego and I'm looking for a drought tolerant tree that can be planted in a hell strip that is 8' wide...would live this tree for the colors, but only if the colors were guaranteed
Hi! So typically, the colder the climate, the more vibrant the color change. There are several of these up in Pasadena that I drive by, and some years when the Winters are colder, they provide a more deep orange/crimson tone. In more mild Winters they are a lighter gold/orange/yellow. I feel like down in SD they will yield a nice color, but potentially not as rich. Still a good choice for anywhere in So Cal :)
@@BudgetPlants thank you so much for replying :D this tree will absolutely go on my list of trees to consider now!
i live in phoenix (zone9b) and even here my chinese pistache tree's give me fall (winter) colour every single year. if you want deeper red, get the red push pistache (common nursery tree now) and you will get a more vibrant display..... life is short, get both! : )
Here in California we got wayyyyy down to 20 Degrees Fahrenheit!!! And my pistashe survived so yes they can survive a cold snap
Why clean the deciduous tree leaves when they will be broken down by the time spring comes
Hi there! I’m considering either a Chinese Pistache or a Drummond Red Maple for my front yard. It will be planted fairly close from the sidewalk and entryway. I love the colors or both trees, but roots braking the concrete is a big concern I have. Which one would you choose between the two and why? THANKS IN ADVANCE
Hi! I would suggest the Chinese Pistache in this case. The root system for the Maple would be too extensive to plant in close proximity to concrete.
@@BudgetPlants thank you sooo much for taking the time to respond. It is about 6 Feet away from the sidewalk or entryway
How long would it take for a Tristan is to grow big enough for shade ? And also I’ve heard the the wind knocks these guys down quite often? What’s your take on this?
They don’t make a fantastic shade tree only because they tend to grow more upright and columnar before they expand their canopy outward. So maybe 10-12 years before any kind of canopy shade underneath. In regards to limbs falling in wind, yes, that can definitely happen, but nowhere near as bad as Eucalyptus, sycamore, and others that are more susceptible to limb breakage.
@@BudgetPlants thanks 😊!
I actually picked up an “ash tree “🌳 this morning! Are you familiar with these I’m not sure but I think it’s green ash! 🤔 anyway are these ok trees in your opinion? Thanks
The only concern I have with the Tristania is its high rating for biogenic emissions.
@F G - "Biogenic emissions" is code for carbon dioxide, which Everyone Knows is evil. Except it's not. First, the tree is a net user of CO2; it cannot poot forth more carbon that it uses to make wood and leaves. Any data that says otherwise is untrustworthy. It's simply not true.
Second, anthropogenic CO2 is not the cause of climate change. Recent research shows the opposite, but it takes a long time for truth to get through to the evening news, especially now that CO2-induced warming has become "settled science"...which actually means it's not science at all. That's not how science works.
I won't go into the reasons why CO2 actually causes _cooling,_ not warming; you can research it for yourself if you're interested. The point is that the relatively tiny amount of CO2 that _Tristania_ might emit relative to the much larger amount it uses for growth is more helpful than harmful. If the tree suits your needs, grow it. You'll be helping the environment, not harming it.
I disagree on Tristania tree. seed just drop and it make very messy. But It is very drought tolerant and i don't even water on hot summer and it still standing.
+Aung htwe Hey thanks for the comment...I always appreciate differing opinions. Cheers
what about carrot wood tree and fern pine tree?
Hi! Fern Pine would also be a good choice. Carrotwood is questionable because of the root system and seed pod drop. But structurally its a good tree of the parkway is large enough to accommodate.
How about a mimosa tree?
Mimosa is another good option! I see them fairly often as a street tree around LA.
I totally know what you mean. I live in Carson California & when I bought my house there was a monster of a magnolia that literally took 10 years of calls to the city to get it removed 🙄 why on earth did the city plant these huge country trees in small areas 🤦🏽♀️ clearly know one did their homework . Any way I now have a white crepe myrtle 😍
Oh yeah!..Crape Myrtle is a much better choice :)) Thanks so much for watching!!
Curious why you are suggesting Australian native trees for USA environments... are you not concerned about the species becoming invasive in your own native vegetation systems? Are there no local native tree species that also fulfill this role and in doing so also complment your own local ecosystem?
if a bird eats/shits and or carries a tree seed from aus to usa to the same climate zone, then what?
well in the natural system they dont.. thats how the worlds ecosystems have evolved... but of course with mans intervention... eg air travel, shipping... trade etc it does but that is why in Australia for example the are very strict biosecurity measures at airports and harbours...and if you are trying to protect / encourage your own natural ecosystems you would try to promote them...
migratory birds disperse seeds very very long distances every single year. #fact.
@@SonOfAGun1814 you are missing the point.. yes migratory birds carry seeds.. they have been doing that for millions of years an natural ecosystems have adapted to that...mam has intoduced flora and fauna to systems that have never seen those and therefore the local ecosytem has never had millions of years to adapt to that potentially invasive species ...FACT
humans ruin everything, yes, but a bird has planted the same trees in that same climate zone, many many times. i live in phoenix zone 9b and every single year we set a record for the hottest year. it keeps getting hotter and hotter, and not just in the summer anymore. if we planted only desert trees here it would make no difference. they provide no shade and fall over and break every time the wind blows. tree's aren't invasive here because it doesn't rain. why can't i fill my back yard will shade from real shade tree's that aren't native here? concrete and electricity isn't native either. help, i need more shade!
