Northpark Common Area Trees
Tristania Tree
Many residents want to know why are the common area trees dropping so many leaves? The Tristania is an Evergreen tree, native to Australia and commonly cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of North America as a shade tree. It grows to more than 150 feet tall, and has oval or lance-shaped leaves 3–6 inches long and produces small white flowers. It is extremely drought-resistant and exceptionally strong. As the Northpark Tristania trees mature, during the summer months they shed up to 50% of their leaves. As many of our residents are experiencing these trees are leaving a mess on the common area streets and sidewalks in front of their homes. These trees are scheduled to be trimmed in the fall during cooler weather for it is not advisable to trim during their growing season. Some of the NP streets with the Tristania trees are; Mar Vista, Maywood, Malibu, La Canada, Riverside, Buellton and Ivanhoe. We thank you for your patience during this growth spurt and wait for cooler weather to trim for better health for the trees and NP’s budget.
