Oregon Urban Tree Catalog

TREE CATALOG

WELCOME TO OUR CATALOG

This catalog was created by Our Community Forestry to help communities across Oregon select tree species that are well suited to both current and future climate conditions. Our goal is to promote the planting of resilient trees that will support long-lived, healthy urban ecosystems.

The catalog highlights species proven to thrive in the hot, dry conditions of Southern Oregon. Because these trees can succeed in some of the state’s most challenging environments, we know they will perform well across Oregon’s Northern regions as well. This makes the catalog a reliable resource for anyone seeking trees that will grow successfully for years to come. While it is not an exhaustive list of every tree that can grow in Oregon, it focuses on species that align with our mission to build a climate-resilient urban canopy. Please note that many of the species included here are not well suited to coastal climates. Residents of Oregon’s coastal communities are encouraged to contact Our Community Forestry for site-specific recommendations. We hope to include a dedicated selection for these unique environments in future editions of this catalog. Ultimately, we hope this catalog inspires communities to plant trees adapted to Oregon’s current conditions and capable of thriving in the climate of the future. A resilient urban canopy helps ensure that our neighborhoods remain healthy, livable, and cool for generations to come.
