Arizona Cypress (Cupressus arizonica)
This large tree sports silvery-blue foliage and a conical crown. It has stout, horizontal branches and grows well in limestone soils. The cypress' red, peeling bark adds texture to the landscape.
Pinyon Pine (Pinus edulis)
The medium-size pinyon's attractive, twisting trunk and curved needles distinguish it from other pines. Pinyon jays, wild turkeys, woodrats and deer eat the tree's pine nuts.
Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana)
The sturdy, mid-size tree makes an effective windbreak. The aromatic foliage varies in color from blue-green to light green. Several varieties of birds, such as the cedar waxwing, are drawn to the red cedar's berries.
Rocky Mountain Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum)
Extremely drought-tolerant, the Rocky Mountain juniper often grows naturally into a Christmas tree shape. Cedar waxwings, northern mockingbirds and evening grosbeaks eat the juniper berries.
Escarpment Live Oak (Quercus virginiana var. fusiformis)
With broad, gnarled limbs, some specimens are wider than they are tall, creating an immense, shady area under the tree. The drought-tolerant tree's 3/4-inch, spindle-shaped acorns attract a variety of wildlife.
