Default Choosing trees

If you can dig up some close to a wooded area they will most likely be
native trees--strong and climatized.


My dad did that in Texas and we wound up with a yard full of cottonwoods. They
were the biggest trees in the neighborhood and offered lots of shade, but the
roots did a serious number on the foundation and got into the pipes. They're
gone, now, but they did a lot of damage first.

Don't plant anything that you wouldn't buy.
