When i bought my house, we were up agains a nasty tree called a Russian Olive, not only did it destroy the drive way, it also was a major source of nasty smelling litter every fall!

If you have trees for the relationship to nature, then you cannot be wrong. But if you define your trees to shade the house, you’re looking for problems. Of course it can be done but it’s not as easy as it sounds. By far it’s better to have fixed or movable solar protections. With automation, the house takes care of itself and you can enjoy the view without being worry for this tree that can damage your house and without blaming this trunk for blocking the view.

The problem of trees untimely deaths are usually due to impervious driveways, and compactions around landscaping by those unaware of arbor care.

Yes, there is an expense to the “benefit of trees”.
•Unless they are evergreen you’ll need to rake leaves in the fall.
Yes, like the sun rises and sets, some trees shed leaves.
•Tree roots can damage your foundation and patio.
Yes, if planted too close.
•Limbs can fall on and damage your house or cars.
Yes, weak limbs can fall. Airplane parts can fall.
But stop to think of the benefits! The oxygen, the shade and protection of the house, the beauty, the savings on power consumption are a few of the benefits. Respect life.

I planted 25 trees on my 1.25 acre property and I was able to select trees that wouldn’t drop seed pods or fruit, were planted away from underground water lines and overhead power lines, and provided shade in the summer and dropped the leaves so I could enjoy winter sun. Now that my property is fully landscaped, many years later, those same trees support my hammocks, which is the slow reward for all my hard work.

In my home, I have a mango’s tree. Big and sweet. My daughter, when she was child, very happy played on and around it. We called her “Tom-Boy” but she is not care. Now, she is in university, wear pants and T-shirts, but she always drives family cars. Ya, children must have “psycho motor”, beside cognitive and affective.
