Choosing Drought
Resistant Trees
If you live in an
area that is slightly parched of water, you know better than anyone
that one of the things that decides whether a tree survives or not is
your ability to supply it with sufficient water. Unfortunately, many
people don’t take this in to account when buying a tree. They will just
go for the nicest looking tree, and then wish they could give it more
water. If you do a little planning before you rush out and buy a tree,
you should be able to find trees that can survive on lower amounts of
water.
Usually the most adaptable plants are the ones that are indigenous
anyways. If you live in a zone that is suffering a water crisis,
usually the only plants that survive are the ones that have been there
all along. This is because they are used to the conditions and know how
to survive. Just take a drive through the undeveloped regions of your
city, and look at what trees are green. Find out their names, and buy
them. They might not be the most attractive trees, but you rarely have
to make any modifications to your soil to get them to grow.
One of the trees that will grow almost anywhere without using much
water is the “Scotch Pine”. Not only does it grow at a very fast rate
of 20 or more inches per year, it is hardy and drought tolerant. It
usually grows between 25 and 35 feet, and it extremely easy to get
started. Most nurseries sell these trees, especially in areas with
lower amounts of water. There are many varieties available. Many fade
to a yellowish brown color during the colder months, and this is
usually what causes some people to dislike them and others to love
them. However, there are varieties available that do not do this.
The Rocky Mountain Juniper is an extremely hardy and easy to grow tree.
Its bark also turns a browner color during the winter, and rejuvenates
in late spring. They are frequently used as windbreaks because of how
tough they are. These trees are also great if you are trying to attract
different varieties of birds to your yard. They provide great branches
to nest in. Unfortunately the Rocky Mountain Juniper doesn’t grow as
fast as other hardy plants like it. The rate is less than 10 inches per
year.
Another one of the most popular drought resistant trees is the Russian
Olive. This tree is impressive and will definitely turn some heads once
it is fully grown. It is more decorative than the trees mentioned
above, and will reach 20 or 25 feet once it is fully grown. They are
able to grow in almost any soil, and attract birds with the berries
they produce.
As you can see, there are many options for you if your water is
limited. There are many others that I have not mentioned, and depending
on your area you may be able to find a preferable variety. Do a Google
search for hardy plants that will survive in your area, and you should
be presented with a large list. If you can’t find that list, just go
outside and see what is currently flourishing. That is the best
indication of what you should buy.
