Yes they are nice. Two things to consider: they like water, so the
water table should be high where you intend to plant if. The other
thing is to understand just how big the canopy will become. Plant
the new tree bearing that canopy diameter in mind.

Thanks! Do they have very invasive roots that damage foundations? There's
a power line at the back of the property, unfortunately. How far should I
keep it from the house?

Cindy, I really do trust most people in this newsgroup, but you really
need to check up on the facts. Do not take the word of anyone unless
it's a qualified person, expecially when it comes to planting trees,
your property, and pipes.
