| This is a list I am developing to suit needs of homes in hilly areas in the Santa Cruz Mountains. These plants are all best cared for with watering once every 10 to 14 days once they are established. For the first year water every week. All plant material should be kept 5 ft or more from structures, according to CalFire's latest recommendations (2020). See this link on defensible space zones for more detail: https://www.firesafemarin.org/defensible-space For questions about this plant list, contact me at: Nikki@cal-sisters.com | ||||||
