Happy first day of summer! Hope you’re not melting under the summer heat. When it comes to the hot season, urban trees show why they’re one of the most valuable resources in our community. When you head outside, Canopy recommends staying cool under the shade of your urban trees.

Introducing the California Buckeye (Aesculus calif

Introducing the California Buckeye (Aesculus californica)! This tree native to Northern California offers dense shading and has low water needs, which means it’s often ideal for planting in Bay Area communities; however, it requires good drainage and has heavy litter production, which may require more care. In the Mid-Peninsula, the California buckeye is often found in Foothills Park, Arastradero Park, and the residential areas, such as Canopy planting sites. Find out more about California Buckeye at Canopy's online Tree Library at the link in our bio.
