It all depends on what you want. + + Davis has an [http://www.city.davis.ca.us/pcs/trees/ Urban Forestry Program] which manages all the street trees (13,000 of them) and the trees in parks and greenbelts (another 5000). One important feature of this, as far as homeowners are concerned, is that the City has say over what kinds of trees can be planted in the public easement zones along the streets, i.e., in the mow strip. In particular, in mow strips you can only plant a tree from the official Master Tree List, downloadable from the Urban Forestry Program web site. If you want to plant any other species you need approval from the City Arborist. The Urban Forestry Program also provides a limited selection of free trees to homeowners, on the rationale that trees create shade that will decrease energy bills. + + The city also maintains a Landmark Tree List, which includes about 100 outstanding specimens of trees. + + If you own property, you may be interested in ["Tree Services"].
