Hello all,

I'd like an evergreen for the backyard.

Conditions:
Climate: Los Angeles
Soil: Clayish
Sun: Full
Area: Middle of the back lawn

Desires:
Evergreen 12'- 25' high when fully mature
Canopy
Fast growing
Low litter

I bought two Tipu trees today b/c they looked so pretty but I got home
and looked them up and discovered they get huge and cause a mess. I'm
taking them back tomorrow. Think I'd be better off sticking with
smaller trees that won't flower. Any help would be appreciated. I'm
considering African Sumac. Comments??

TIA!
Jett
