Choosing Tree Species for Central Park

Today, we’re thrilled to share the carefully selected tree species chosen for Central Park and explain the thoughtful process behind these choices.

Our primary focus was on using native species, those uniquely adapted to the weather conditions of Las Catalinas. Many of the trees for Central Park come directly from our own nursery, a decision that helps reduce emissions and transport costs by minimizing the need to bring in trees from other parts of the country.

We also considered the biological importance of each species, taking into account their flowers, shade, and growth rates. This ensures that our park not only looks beautiful but also supports local biodiversity. In total, we’re incorporating 25 different species of trees, along with nearly 20 species of bushes and ground covers.

Among the notable species are the Cortez Amarillo, known for its vibrant yellow flowers; the iconic Guanacaste tree, which provides ample shade and has historical significance in the region; the Malinche, with its striking flowers that attract pollinators; and the majestic Ceiba, a giant that will serve as a central focal point in the park. We’re also including various fruit trees to attract wildlife and serve as a food source for the local monkey troops.

These selections reflect our commitment to creating a sustainable, beautiful environment that enhances our community’s connection to nature.

Stay tuned, as we’ll soon share how you can have your very own tree in Central Park, forever bearing your family’s name.
