Trees play a crucial role in our environment. They absorb carbon dioxide, provide oxygen, act as windbreaks, shade buildings, prevent soil erosion and give us a fabulous view to enjoy!

One large tree can provide a day’s oxygen for up to four people and reduce CO2, the primary greenhouse gas.

Planting water efficient trees will beautify your property and help the environment in more ways than one!

Water-efficient and native trees, once established, will require no watering from you except during a prolonged period of drought.

Here are some fine examples of water-efficient trees to choose from.

Cooling Machines
Trees cool their surroundings through evaporation. In one day a large tree can lift up 370 litres of water out of the ground and into the air. During prolonged periods without rainfall and the soil is dry, trees will benefit from a slow deep watering.
