Question
We are redoing our front garden and need to remove our lawn and all of the bushes. We live in the sunset and want to know if birch trees would do well in that area or if you have any other recommendation for trees, plants or flowers that do well in a neighborhood in the Sunset off of Sloat Blvd. Thanks!

Answer
Birch trees may have a difficult time with the winds and salt air that you have there. If you like the habit of birch, Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cajeput) will give you a similar look. Other trees to consider are Arbutus Marina, Eucalyptus ficifolia and Schinus molle.
There are a number of plants and shrubs that will do well in your location, I suggest either contacting our design department at 415-388-3754 or visiting the store by the zoo and having one of our associates show you around.
