native trees or shrubs on slope in Danville area

[Anonymous]

Can you advise me on what appropriate native trees/shrubs would be possible to use on rather steep, partly serpentine, hot and dry slope in the Danville area. Surrounding trees are old coast live oaks. Height is a concern, view for neighbors should remain. Thanks very much,Maria</p>
