CALIFORNIA LIVE OAK 
Quercus agrifolia. Our native oak. Slow 
growing and picturesque as it gets 
older. Leaves small, oval and a deep 
rich green. Makes a dense, round and 
later irregular head. 
Quercus ilex. Holly Oak. The leaves of 
this handsome evergreen tree resem- 
ble those of English Holly and are 
somewhat wooly underneath. 
CAROLINA CHERRY 
Prunus caroliniana. Dwarf round 
headed tree or large shrub for street 
tree planting or as a large hedge. Deep 
green foliage and black cherries. 
EVERGREEN ELM 
Ulmus parifolia sempervirens. Popu- 
lar small tree with spreading crown 
of small, deep green “Elm” leaves on 
slender drooping branches. Hardy and 
quick growing. 
Trees: The value of trees about 
the home cannot be overesti- 
mated. Their height and masses 
of foliage help give a feeling of 
separation of the house from its 
neighbors. The shade and orna- 
mental value of each tree gives 
charm and enjoyment to the out- 
door areas—a place of comfort 
and relaxation. 
Choose your trees wisely but be 
sure to use them in your plant- 
ing scheme, for flowers, fruit, 
shade.
