| What type of tree(s) do you prefer & why?
We need to plant trees at our business. I'd like your help in deciding which ones to plant.
Our engineer recommended American Holly and Chestnut Oak. When I asked him why he chose these two trees he replied those are the trees listed on the plans to another one of his clients. Well that's not a good enough reason for me.
We don't want trees that are going to drop things on our customers vehicles. We don't want any that produce a lot of pollen. They can not be invasive either.
So far I'm considering the Live Oak tree, Willow Oak, Pistachio, and Crape Myrtle. I'd like Eucalyptus & Weeping Willow but they aren't on the list provided by our city.
These are the trees I can pick to replace the Chestnut Oak:
Trident Maple
Swamp Chestnut Oak
Scarlet Oak (but I don't want this one)
White Oak
Willow Oak (It's a maybe)
Yellow Poplar aka Tulip tree, Canoewood, Saddle Leaf & White Wood
Sweetgum (but I don't want this one)
Blackgum aka Black Tupelo
Chinese Elm
Cryptomeria
Dawn Redwood
Ginko
Japanese Zelkova
Pistachio (it's a maybe)
Live Oak (it's a maybe)
Green Ash aka Red Ash
White Ash
American Beech
Eastern Red Cedar
Bald Cypress
Southern Magnolia (too fragrant for me)
Florida Maple
Sugar Maple
Northern Red Oak
Nuttall Oak
Pin Oak
Shumard Oak and
Southern Red Oak
Which do you recommend & why?
These are the trees I have to choose from to replace the American Holly:
Sassafras
Chinese Fringetree
Golden Raintree
Japanese Dogwood
Japanese Maple
Callery Pear
Chinese Evergreen Oak
Foster Holly
Savannah Holly
Sawtooth Oak
Sand Hickory
Black Cherry
Pond Cypress
American Elm
Slippery Elm
Winged Elm
Mockernut Hickory and
Pignut Hickory
I haven't researched all of them yet.
But you opinion of these will be greatly appreciated.
