Resistant trees

Like other plant species, trees have a lot of variation on the basis of certain features like growth habits, cultural or habitat needs, aesthetic or practical usefulness to mankind, and some other qualities. Today I'm going to write about the trees which are resistant to wind, salt, drought, fire, ice, heat and shade amazingly. Having my strong relation with plant sciences, I believe that this article will be informative and helpful to the landscapers, town planners, environmentalists, horticulturists, botanists, and also for the educators and students from plant sciences.

Resistant trees are indexed below. To get detail of each tree, please click on the title which will lead you to a detailed webpage of that particular tree.
