What tree should I plant?

 It depends. Trees are not furniture, they are living beings and every species has different needs: water, soil type, sunlight, and space above and below ground.

Tree New Mexico believes in planting the right tree in the right place.

When choosing a tree, keep in mind its future size, water needs, and heat and cold tolerance. Consider proximity to other trees, buildings, sidewalks, power lines and underground utilities.

The Nature Conservancy’s climate-ready tree lists can help you choose a tree that will not only survive, but thrive. These trees have been assessed for their heat, cold, and drought tolerance for New Mexico’s regional climates today and into the future.
