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.

I've done plenty of research online. HERE I'm asking for other gardeners'
personal experience. I believe that's what this forum is for. Is that all
right?


Yes, yes, it's correct. However, whenever I am doing somthing which
potentially could do damage or cost more than it's worth I do not rely
on he Internet, it's websites, or experience of people. I've gotten
some pretty rotten advice from a very high profile commercial website.
