iiSNWA/SNRPCRegional Plant ListIntroductionThe Southern Nevada Regional Planning Coalition (SNRPC) and the Southern Nevada WaterAuthority (SNWA) are pleased to present this list of plants for the Southern Nevada region.The original 2011 list was created by SNRPC’s Regional Urban Forestry Working Group in conjunctionwith local experts including arborists, horticulturists, and urban foresters. Much of the effort wasbuilt on the foundations of excellent local resources such as the Nevada Division of Forestry’s 2007Cleaner Air, Tree by Tree and the 2005 Centennial edition of Trees for Tomorrow, a project of theHigh Desert Resource Conservation & Development Council. Both projects were made possible bygrants from the Nevada Division of Forestry and the United States Forest Service.The 2021 update was produced by a reconvened working group of local experts. The most notablerevisions are to the Tree section, with an emphasis on deterring use of tree species poorly adaptedto current and future conditions.The intent of this list is to provide a single, region-wide reference for homeowners, landscapedesigners, architects and developers to select appropriate plants when designing their projects inthe Las Vegas area. In addition, it is a tool for those who review those projects—such as cityplanners—to determine if those plants meet applicable codes and ordinances. Lastly, it containsinformation on plant canopy coverage, which is used by the SNWA in the Water Smart Landscapesincentive program.Current and changing conditions in our region make proper plant selection more important thanever. The Las Vegas area is one of the fastest growing urban heat islands, and climate projectionssuggest it will become hotter and drier in the future. Choosing climate resilient plants that cansurvive and thrive in these conditions can help to moderate these effects to sustain and enhancequality of life in our community.For the 2021 update, the Trees, Palms and Cycads sections now include a rating system from 1-5stars, with 1 stars being inappropriate and 5 stars highly-appropriate for our region. A plant's ratingis based on a number of important factors related to climate resilience such as environmentaltolerances, water efficiency, drought tolerance, pathogen resistance and maintenance demands.Additional consideration was given to the potential for the plant to increase or decrease thediversity of our urban forest.For example, Prunus cerasifera 'Atropurea' "Purple Leaf Plum" has a 1-star rating due to it's heatsensitivity, poor drought tolerance, and susceptibility to pests. Acacia aneura "Mulga Acacia," on theother hand, has a 5-star rating because it is a well adapted desert plant with few pests, and it isnot widely planted, so it has potential to diversify the urban forest.This list is not intended to be a list of the only plants allowed in the region, nor is it intended to be anexhaustive, comprehensive list of all desert-appropriate plants. In addition, it is not intended torestrict what plants residents choose to plant in their yards. Rather, we hope that this list will helpresidents and developers make informed decisions about which plants to choose.ii
Regional Plant ListSNWA/SNRPCHow to Use the ListThe list is divided between trees and other plants, including shrubs, groundcovers, vines, succulentsand perennials. It is sorted alphabetically by botanical name and includes the common names ofthe plants. You may use "Ctrl F" to search the document for any term. Several columns ofattributes can be used to determine which plants are appropriate to use in specific situations.Tree ratings depend upon a variety of factors, which are generally noted in the "comments" column.1. Organic mulch – doesn’t perform well without an organic surface treatment, such as wood chips or leaflitter, rather than crushed rock.2. Many cultivars – your nursery may have numerous named cultivars of the same plant species.3. Overplanted - A plant heavily used in the region and at risk for a catastrophic loss of urban tree canopyunder adverse conditions.4. Poor environmental tolerance – Likely to be damaged by cold, heat or other environmental issues.5. Invasive Species – a plant that reproduces aggressively into urban or natural ecosystems, some of whichmay be prohibited by law.6. Mojave native – A plant that grows naturally in some parts of the Mojave Desert.7. Poor Drought Tolerance – unable to persist through prolonged conditions of low soil moisture.8. Susceptible to Pests – Commonly attacked by diseases or insects.9. Short lifespan – not expected to achieve the expected lifespan under local conditions.10.Protected microclimate required – Capable of thriving, but only if protected from the harshest summerconditions, such as east and north-facing exposures.Process for Review and AmendmentThe SNWA/SNRPC Plant List is intended to be a living document and will therefore be open toperiodic review and amendment. Requests to add plants or modify information must besubmitted to the SNWA Conservation Division by emailing conservation@snwa.com. Requestsshould include the following information at a minimum:1.2.3.4.the applicant’s name and contact informationthe botanical and common name(s) of the plant(s) to be considered.for the revision to be considered, and supporting documentation.For new plants, documentation shall include the plants’ proposed attributes and informationregarding the plant's history and performance in similar climates.5. Supporting documentation must be verified by a certified arborist or horticulturist.iii
