We are publishing a list of ornamental trees and shrubs compiled by dendrology expert Bojan Spasojević from Mostar, with a recommendation to gradually transition from planting trees and shrubs suitable for continental climates due to climate change, and instead opt for species that thrive in the climate zone present in Herzegovina.
Thanks to Bojan, Nešto Više is bringing this important and useful list for everyone interested in greening their spaces.
