Description

All of Hydro‑Québec’s data on over 1,700 plant species and varieties found in Québec. The directory can be used to search for a tree or shrub based on specific features such as light requirements, hardiness zone, height at maturity, etc. Also, each plant species and variety is associated with a safe planting distance from medium‑voltage lines.

The data may be useful for:

  • Residents who want to choose which trees and shrubs to plant and determine where they should be planted in relation to power distribution lines
  • Professionals such as nursery growers, horticulturists and landscapers
  • People in charge of tree replacement program planning
  • People in charge of planning and carrying out work near existing trees

Go to Hydro‑Québec’s Choose the Right Tree or Shrub site, where all the data comes from.
