Native Trees
We cannot overemphasize the value of planting native trees when selecting a tree for planting in Provincetown. They are hardier and more viable, have less need of water, nutrients and pesticides/herbicides, are a better fit for the Outer Cape fauna that have coevolved with them, and have an historical and cultural connection that should not be overlooked. Trees that are native to Cape Cod are marked with an asterisk (*) in the listings of Recommended Trees.
