Can someone suggest a beautiful tree that do not sap, produce no
significant fruits ? I need a tree next to my driveway but do not want
to have to wash my car every other day. A decidious that turns
beautiful color in Fall is preferred.

Any suggestion from you experts out there ? I am in Toronto Canada
(zone 5b or 6?) Thanks in advance.

Sycamore.

MALE ginko. turns brilliant yellow and all the leaves drop in 1 day. it tolerates
pollution incredibly well and is resistant to almost anything. it is from the dawn
of evolution of trees. Ingrid

I second that. They are very sculptural, too. Pyramid shaped, and the leaves
are not too broad, so the sunlight dapples through them beautifully.

Thanks for the suggestion. We have a lot of ginko in the neighbour
where I work. I thought they turn orange red in fall instead of
yellow, no ? Anyway would did you specify a MALE ? And how do I tell
the sex of the tree when I go to the nursery ? I do not always trust
the experts at the usual gardening centre that I go to, because they
seems to have hired a lot of highschool students lately who pretend to
be experts which they are not ....

They have very large leaves, but that is only a consideration in the fall.
I have several and they don't cause any mess. Their relative the London
plane tree (Platanus x acerifolia ) is often used along streets. I've
never read about any problems with them causing a mess. You might consider
that one. It is very tolerant of pollution and salt.

I guess it depends on location and/or variety. In S. Central Texas they drop
leaves constantly and are, indeed, a mess.
