Hi Jeff, You've gotten some wonderful suggestions here. I like your choice as well. One other tree that I'd like to suggest is the Sourwood - Oxydendrum arboreum. It has 4 season interest and offers food to wildlife as well. It gives a beautiful fall display and is so pretty when in bloom as well as fragrant flowers and interesting bark. My favorite tree. http://www.aragriculture.org/horticu...s/Sourwood.asp http://www.plantbio.ohiou.edu/epb/in...,%20winter.htm With no disrespect to the posters who suggested the Paulowinia and the Catalpa, these are both considered invasive and both are very messy trees. Here's a site where you can get all kinds of helpful info on trees including aspects such as roots lifting sidewalks, tree litter, invasive potential, etc. http://hort.ifas.ufl.edu/trees/index.htm Good luck with your selection. Newt
