Hi,

I'm in eastern Pa. Zone 6. I'm thinking of planting a single tree
in the corner of my lot to block out an eyesore on the neighbor's
property. I've seen some nice trees around here that would fit the
bill, but nobody knows what they are or where to buy the same exact
tree.

I'd like a deciduous tree that is nice and full of leaves in the spring
to fall, and which is either round or oval (vertically). Also that has
no branches until about 5 or 6 feet up the trunk. The road I live on
has plenty of such trees, which are now 20 years old, and about 25 to
30 feet tall, are round, and fully leafed out spring to fall (can't see
through them).

I want the tree to have a mature height of no more than 30 feet. Can be
20 to 30 feet wide.


Thanks
So you only want to screen out the view part of the year? Deciduous
trees will not help much in fall and winter.

I can't make good suggestions since I don't know much about your area,
but call the county extension agent to get good advice about what
performs well there.
