Re: Good & Bad Species for Beginners

For central California on the good or easy list I put European olive on the top, saju elm is one that wants to play, catlin and contorted love full sun and heat as well as the Zelcova. Bald cypress and montazuma cypress also do well in the heat but are kept in water.
Trident maple and Celtis will tollerate the heat as well but can be a little fussy about water and fertalizer.
For the central California dificult list J-white pine. I only have three that will tollerate the heat and only with shade. J-black pine will servive and tollerate the heat but will not have the vigor of one grown on the coast or at higher elevations.
J-mountain maple requires shade and protection from dry winds.
Well that's enough of my two cents I will add more later.
