My Rare Decorative Tree Collection (6 Varieties You Won't See at Big Box Stores)

In this video I talk about some of the more rarely seen decorative trees around where I live in Arizona Zone 9b. Some of these trees may be less rare where you live (please let me know!). Most are quite cold sensitive as they are tropicals, and so if you live in an area that freezes, make sure these trees have protection!
All of these trees shown are between 1-3 years old, yet some were planted from larger containers than others.

I was interested in getting rainbow eucalyptus at one point but apparently it’s illegal in some states, I’d rather not risk it, always check your state laws

How many acres is your property? Beautiful garden and loved your video. About 4 years ago I started coming across gardeners in Zone 9B in the Phoenix area and never realized all the amazing trees one could grow in our climate.
Currently, I have 11 trees not commonly seen and room for 2 or 3 more. My wife and I sure get a lot of enjoyment from our garden.
Thanks for sharing your ideas.

I wish it were many, but it’s only .8 - still plenty of space! I’m right there with you at being surprised by the varieties we can grow here, they just take a little extra work.
