Inland natives for East County heat and clay
A Woodside Avenue yard on the way out to El Monte Valley, growing the inland half of the native palette — Engelmann oak, laurel sumac, white sage, buckwheat and desert-edge material that survives a Lakeside summer without a drip line by year three. Stock is small, cheap and grown lean. Restoration crews working the San Diego River bottom buy it in flats.
