11. What kind of shrubs and trees might survive? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

They could all survive in the habitat that we build; however if we were to choose a shrub or a tree for the plant growth habitat, it would need to have some advantageous attributes. For example, citrus trees might be chosen because of their high productivity and unique nutritional qualities, whereas a pine tree would not likely be chosen because of its near lack of food productivity, large size and the volatile aromatic compounds that it produces.
