What trees are favorable for street plantings in Redwood City?

The City Department of Public Works and the City Arborist have developed a list of trees that are suited to the climate and conditions in Redwood City.  The City has a goal of planting the largest appropriate and desirable shade tree species, balanced with preserving the maximum use of available and safe space, while minimizing conflicts with nearby utilities. The City’s list consists of large, medium and small trees, so a tree can be selected that can thrive in a particular site. The tree list for Redwood City is currently under review.
