Seeking advice for a large tree that will cast very deep shade. Will be
planted in USDA 8/ Sunset 10. Currently considering a Beech (Fagus
orientalis or F. sylvatica). Have already planted several oaks (obvious
candidate) in my backyard, but would like something different for the front.
The tree will be between my house and the street (~60ft), and will hopefully
be prunable to clear traffic when it gets large enough (any experience with
a beech in this regard?).

PEE-CANZ If I was in zone 8 I'd jump on pecans in a heartbeat.
