Thanks for the links PotEmUp.
The city requires a replanting plan when you apply for a permit to remove and old tree. This means you need to tell them what species of tree you are going to plant in its place before you can get a permit to remove the existing one. Overall this is a good policy because it keeps the city full of trees. The city did not have a list of "approved" trees to give me.

Thanks for the suggestion of the box elder. I'll look into it. I borrowed several native plant and low water plant garden books from the library this weekend.

Here is a photo of the existing trees. The five taller ones with a lighter trunk bark are the ones that have to come out.
