I would like to know what would be a nice shade tree for the backyard, one that is clean and gets around 40 to 70 feet tall. I really don't care for Maples. The only thing I don't like about Maples is there seed pods. I live in a city.I would like a deep rooting tree and a hardwood tree.
Shade Tree For Backyard
You would really like Nyssa sylvatica - Blackgum.
American Yellowwood (Cladrastis kentukea) could also fit your interests - and it flowers prolifically.

there are many seedless varieties of maples.
that said, I don't know just HOW seedless they are ? :)
Pin oaks are nice.
