Here is my wish list for a tree: Grows relatively fast Keeps a compact shape Pretty Flowers Not too much pollen No nuts No feeder or surface roots - well behaved root wise in that it won't mug my sewer system Grows around 30 - 50 feet Leaves change color in Fall Drops leaves in Winter (and leaves are good for mulching) The picture is what's coming out. I realize that I probably can't have everything on my wish list, but the bolded wishes are a must. So give me some ideas for a tree good for my zone and if you have a picture of a mature one, please post it. Thanks! X |
