Tipu Tree Care & Pruning

North County San Diego Tree Care Specialists

The Tipu Tree (Tipuana tipu), also known as Tipuana, is a fast-growing shade tree commonly planted throughout Southern California. It develops a wide, spreading canopy and provides dense shade, making it popular in larger landscapes. However, its aggressive roots and heavy seasonal drop (flowers and seed pods) can create maintenance concerns, especially near hardscape and structures.
