Types of Trees That Grow Well in Albuquerque

Trees are an important part of any landscape. They provide shade, beauty, and even food and shelter for wildlife. With so many different types of trees to choose from though, it can be tough to know which one is right for your home.

 

If you live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, you're in luck! There are a number of tree species that thrive in this desert climate. Popular choices include mesquite, cottonwood, and juniper. Each of these trees has its own unique benefits, so be sure to do your research before making a decision.
