Camphor Tree Trimming & Care

North County San Diego Arborists

The Camphor Tree (Cinnamomum camphora) is a large, evergreen shade tree commonly used in Southern California landscapes. It develops a dense, spreading canopy that provides ample shade, making it a popular choice for streets and larger residential properties. While it is adaptable and relatively low maintenance once established, its size and extensive root system require careful placement away from structures and hardscape.
