DH saw this tree on a gardening show and really likes it. We have a great expanse of lawn that is really crying out for a tree. I like the idea of dappled shade (I could make a nice little shade garden under it some day), also that it doesn't have the thorns and pods. It's a fast grower, which would be nice. From my reading, on the negative side I see that wind can cause some breakage and we do have a fairly windy site. Also that it is a target plant for some sort of (lost the article) midge or mite.

I have spots in mind for a couple of smaller trees (still thinking about that Cornus kousa 'Wolf Eyes'). But one larger tree would be nice. (edit to add...I realize this is still a small tree 30-35', but this is a suburban lot and I think in small scale)
