This is only a partial list of suitable plants. Many species closely related to those on the list are also available from local nurseries and could be used. The plants listed are low water use or drought tolerant, selected from the list published by the Arizona Department of Water Resources. Not shown on the list are high water use, low allergy plants such as deciduous fruit trees, most roses and many other brightly colored flowers, none of which produce large amounts of airborne pollen. Identification of female trees may be impossible unless purchased as large specimens during their flowering season.
Some species cause litter.
