Greetings everyone,
I am looking to
plant a new
tree in my front yard, but am not sure what to go with. I lost my crabapple last year, and the yard looks so bare now.
I would like to have a flowering
tree, small to mid-sized, but a
tree that doesn't fruit all that much ... a friend of mine has a white mulberry and, wowzers, the mess it makes -- the birds eat a few berries here and there, but I think the flies are the more voracious eaters.
The yard is in full sun, an area about 15' x 20' and I'm in a
zone 5, and I would want a pest & disease resistant
tree ... any recommendations would be great!!
