Whats a good tree to plant...?

Question

...in the middle of my front yard lawn. I'd like a large tree (in time). But one that wont effect my lawn.

Answer 1

Approximately where are you? I'll keep a watch on this question to see if you post approx. where you live. If you live in the United States go to http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/ushzmap.html and find your USDA Plant Hardiness Zone and post it on this question. That'll help narrow down what would be a good tree for your area. Thanks!

Answer 2

It really depends on your climate. If you don't want it to affect your lawn, both fruit trees and trees that block out sun would be out of the question. Look either for something that doesn't grow very tall or if you are in a sunny climate, plant a palm tree.

Australian Willows ( Austries) are the best for fast shade . Grow several feet a year . The leaves are small and they do not spread like some willows do. Also once you get one going, you can cut limbs off and root them in water in about two weeks so you can have more if needed . I love mine .

Answer 4

I need to know where you live, what your soil is like, how much rainfall you get,... in order to give you an intelligent recommendation. If you want to contact me with more info, I think I can help.
