Hi,
I need suggestions for a nice size, 20-30 ft,
tree that will provide shade to my cute un-insulated house. We'd like something that grows fairly quick and has a nice canopy. This will be in our front yard so I'd prefer to not to do a fruit
tree (DH was thinking of an avocado for a while). Any suggestions? It would be in full sun, surrounded by the lawn.
I've noticed there is a type of maple that has the beautiful red leaves in the fall where some of the maples just turn brown and crispy here. (So. Cal.,
zone 9) Anyone have any info on the different types of maples? The maple that turns red here has big leaves, so I don't think its a Japanese, but I could be wrong.
Thanks in advance!
Kristen
