What Type of Native Trees are Native to your Town? (hot, city)

[Glacierx]

Here in my town, I have found (from most common to least common):

1) Douglas Fir
2) Ponderosa Pine (mostly on the south facing slopes)
3) Western Red Cedar (north and east facing slopes)
4) Western Larch
5) Cottonwood (along the creek banks)
6) Paper Birch (mostly in the valley bottom near the water)
7) Aspen (up on the top of the hillside)
8) Lodgepole Pine (higher elevation parts)
9) Spruce of some kind (I've only found 1 of them in the city)


This is quite a few more trees than were I grew up. We only had 4 kinds there, with 90% of them being lodgepole pine. The others would be Douglas fir, aspen, and white spruce.

[Max96]

Quercus robur (English oak)
Acer platanoides (Norway maple)
Betula pendula (Silver birch)
Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine) (relatively rare, probably because our summers are too hot for them)
I'm not that well educated in plants, so I can confuse species.

Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)
Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis)

Only large trees are listed. Live Oak, although non-native, was a surprise to see. And while it isn't a tree, Opuntia humifusa (Eastern Prickly Pear Cactus) is my favorite plant species native to NYC.
