Do you grow trees on your roof?

My sun rises directly in the East, swings high in the southern sky,
and sets directly in the West.

The front of the house faces East.

The tall trees naturally in the back yard shade the house from 2PM to
sunset.

The single canopy tree in the front yard shades the house from sunrise
to 11 AM.

Then I would need a tree to the South to shade the house from 11 AM to
2PM. But that's up to the neighbors.

Well, it just doesn't take a genius to figure out where to put the
tree.

Also, a tree has water evaporating out of the leaves and makes the
yard and house cooler.
