Although certain evergreen trees may be classed as shade trees, 
the term is usually reserved for quick-growing deciduous trees 
(without foliage in winter). Shade trees have a particular signifi- 
cance to California because ancient elms, poplars, and maples 
lining streets and highways testify to the foresight of early settlers. 
Even the Chinese gold-rushers immortalized their ‘diggings by 
planting a special brand of good-luck tree wherever they paused 
to make their fortune. Most shade trees in our list are available 
for summer planting in handy containers at slightly higher prices.
