I need to plant 25 or 30 nice salt tolerant trees in a mall parking lot near the ocean, in the fall, in zone 7. I'm looking for something that the root system won't buckle and destroy the asphalt. Thanks.
The first thing that comes to mind are some of the colder hardy palms, or eucalyptus. I'm not sure about what their roots would do to the parking lot though. I'm sure someone else around here will have better knowledge for you!
