Whay Kind Of Tree To Plant

I love maples too! I have a baby maple in my back yard right now . . . I wish it would get bigger!!! I know it's gonna take a few years but I just love the shape of it already!

I would choose anything but the sweet gum. They produce little prickly balls that fall all over and are a mess. My RB standard poodle, Whitney, used to love to chew on them and actually got one stuck in her cheek way in the back of her mouth. She stopped eating suddenly and when I took her to the vet for a good checking over he found it and said her cheek was beginning to get infected. I felt horrible that I never thought to look inside her mouth for the source of the problem.

Anyway, I really got off the track with my answer!

Nope

But if there were, I wouldn't have to swipe them from my
neighbors.

I think I'll chose the Linden/Basswood tree. I'd like the pyramid shape. to
a tree.

Now I might be wrong ...
Or, there could have been a Change of Mind ...

I'd pick the maple, they are the least messy and attract the least insects. The gum tree is considered kindof a nusiance tree.

That's amazing Richard!

I like your choice - very pretty tree, with a nice scent when it's blooming, too.

Nothing yet. The planting of the trees is scheduled for Oct. 21st, 2006.
They asked for people to be available to help out on that day.(show them
where you want it) They advised also that people would be out before
then to flag all under ground gas or water lines before digging.
