In 2013, the City of Tampa approved an Urban Forest Management Plan as the strategic plan for the management of Tampa's Urban Forest (Tampa City Council Resolution No. 2013-921; visit TampaGov.net for more information). The Tampa Tree Matrix was developed as part of the plan to provide a list of tree species that are suitable to grow within the City of Tampa, based overall on climatic conditions. Each column in the Matrix represent characteristics that can be used to determine tree species suitability based on horticultural preferences and characteristics of the specific planting site. A PDF version of the Tree Matrix can also be obtained at the TampaGov.net website. This matrix is a work in progress.
