We are often asked for guidance on suitable trees to plant on private property in relation to permit conditions or climate change.
We have selected a range of small, medium and large trees that:
- are indigenous to Boroondara
- contribute to the character and heritage of our streetscapes
- are resilient to the potential impacts of climate change.

Some species listed in these tables have varieties that may be smaller or larger than indicated.
We recommend consulting your local nursery, landscape gardener or arborist about the suitability of specific trees for your property.
We recommend planting trees at least one or 2 metres from property boundaries, easements, services and structures (including paving, buildings, driveways, fences and retaining walls).
