You made no mention of mesquite, paloverde, desert willow. These require very little water and offer filtered shade to grow vegetables right into early June.
Also jujubes! They yield a delicious sweet fruit and can thrive with no water once established. They're hardy down to -20°F, grow in a wide range of soil conditions, and love all the sun they can get. Just need two different varieties to cross polinate for optimal yield.
Ocotillos are totally worthless. They provide no shade, they are covered with sharp thorns, and only look "pretty" during the rainy season. You might as well plant a yucca.
this is helpful! looking at a long term plan for our AZ home and stumbled across this video. Thanks so much! Have you guys ever thought of servicing pinal county? XD
Yavapai county has a lot of oak that grows naturally, along with juniper, the only issue i have with them is how prone they are to parasites like mistletoe.
Why doesn’t somebody start a nonprofit to plant these trees in the desert? We need more trees, more rain, more water, less drought, less fire, more life.
That’s true. Texas has a TON of Live Oak Trees. They grow at a pretty good rate and get very large with a very wide canopy. Due to that, they are great shade trees.
Constructive criticism to your video. While you talk you should have the camera more on the trees and less on your face because even on TV you couldn't really see the trees very well
So you're a professional and those are the trees you recommend?? That list is total garbage. A better list in all regards is 1. Desert willow 2. Thornless mesquite 3. Chinese pistache 4. Black locust 5. Burr oak
Acacia, Paloverde, and Mesquite, AVOID these threes at all cost as they look awful when mature, will split or blow over in storms and will make a complete mess of your yard. They drop thorns and thorn branches all over your yard so you cannot walk bare foot around them. In addition, all three shed tiny leaves all year long and most of their leaves in winter. In storms they often blow over or split. In the spring they will dump millions of flowers all over your yard that will then clump and stick if it rains. These 3 would be the worst of all the southwest trees. Desert willow I do not care for them they always look stringy and if you have a rock scape in your yard they drop tons of these long leaves that weave between your rocks so you cannot blow them up. I paid my neighbor to put in a new tree as his Desert Willow made my front yard look awful and I could never just blow up the leaves they drop. Oleander drops tons of long leaves that weave into rock and also drop TONS of flowers all spring and summer that stick to your turf and rock making it very hard to pick up. I would avoid both of these trees. They look pretty in a field not in your yard. I have 2 Southern Oak I planted, for the most part they stay evergreen HOWEVER in the spring they drop TONS of green worm like pollen all over your yard. I am not talking about a tiny amount. Had I known this I would not have planted them. The tree I like the most in the Phoenix area is Chinese Pistache, great shade, fall color, heat hardy. They do lose leaves in the winter. They don't push up sidewalks, no pollen, no thorns just a nice-looking shade tree.
Arizonans need to plant SONORAN DESERT PLANTS AND HELP PRESERVE NATIVE DESERT PLANTS. People massively moving here need to respect this part of the world. The culture food traditions ancient and recent history all needs to be respected. Those who migrate here left their homeland NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Shame on Govt for undermining disrespecting and completely oppressing this part of the world’s history and people that originate from here. Yes including “MEXICANS” who are actually indigenous native North Americans from here. USA gov under OBAMA sent 15 million USA dollars to map decipher categorize African DNA instead of NORTH AMERICAN DNA. DNA TESTING IS WORTHLESS FOR indigenous native North Americans/ “MEXICANS” who originate from here thousands or millions of yrs ago.
I love in the wheatbelt of Western Australia where our summers average 40 degrees celcius in summer, we also get some frosts during winter. I put a black mulberry in last year, I water once a week and its thriving.

Trees for Desert i live in Las Vegas zone 9 thanks great videoswheelchair larry
For maples lover. the Shantung maple can handle full sun and drought.
Awesome info about the Ocotillo's. That sounds right up my ally!
Just be aware that the plant does go dormant in the winter. Drops all of its leaves!
Ocotillos are totally worthless. They provide no shade, they are covered with sharp thorns, and only look "pretty" during the rainy season. You might as well plant a yucca.
Have you tried a Jacaranda tree so pretty lilac foliage. We have them everywhere here in very hot spain
Love the video. Looking for permaculture in high desert. Definitely need a wind break in St Johns.
Russian olive and elm. If you look around you will see that they grow well.
@@kathylefevre854 thank you
In my experience in southern AZ my ironwood litters quite heavily.
It's not litter , it's free mulch
this is helpful! looking at a long term plan for our AZ home and stumbled across this video. Thanks so much! Have you guys ever thought of servicing pinal county? XD
Are these trees you mention also able to take freezing winter temperatures?
Yavapai county has a lot of oak that grows naturally, along with juniper, the only issue i have with them is how prone they are to parasites like mistletoe.
Very good video! Thank you for the info.
The trees and ocotillo he lists suck. You will get better options in the comments.
Yes I want desert landscape in tree for Dubai 🇦🇪🇦🇪
Amazon maybe ship small trees to you
muy interesante :) gracias amigo
what about mesquite or palo verde?
Great video!
THANK YOU!
The guy didnt do you any favors with this bunk list.
What would you recommend for a small yard in utah?
I’m not familiar with Utah’s climate. You may need to stop at a local
Nursery
Look into your zone, every state has different zones.
Like what would be recommended for St George would be different then Logan.
Why doesn’t somebody start a nonprofit to plant these trees in the desert? We need more trees, more rain, more water, less drought, less fire, more life.
Nobody has money to just throw away. That's what we pay taxes for and also why we don't have money to throw away hahaha
What’s stopping you?
I have property in Arizona if you wanna ship seeds I'll grow them plant them and send you a video
How about their root system and damage to the foundation?
I keep wanting to make a garden that is permaculture, in the desert of socal.
What is safe for xeriscape tree it will have drip system but don’t want it going after plumbing
Ironwood trees, live oak trees or even palo verde trees have less aggressive roots.
Live oak? Near a pool? Live oaks are semi-deciduous. Their leaves are pushed off in the spring by new growth. They drop a ton of leaves.
That’s true. Texas has a TON of Live Oak Trees. They grow at a pretty good rate and get very large with a very wide canopy. Due to that, they are great shade trees.
How poisonous are these?
Palm trees 🌴🌴🌴
Why not Arizona cypress
AMSLandscaping: More pictures of trees...less video of you... you forgot the other trees... best to you.
Constructive criticism to your video. While you talk you should have the camera more on the trees and less on your face because even on TV you couldn't really see the trees very well
2nd plant is TOXIC
True !
So you're a professional and those are the trees you recommend?? That list is total garbage. A better list in all regards is 1. Desert willow 2. Thornless mesquite 3. Chinese pistache 4. Black locust 5. Burr oak

hello what are your thoughts on a Mulberry tree?
Good question
I love in the wheatbelt of Western Australia where our summers average 40 degrees celcius in summer, we also get some frosts during winter. I put a black mulberry in last year, I water once a week and its thriving.
