Having trees in your yard can be very nice. If you are looking around to plant trees in your yard, here are a few that you may want to avoid.
The first tree you may want to avoid planting is a Lombardy Poplar tree. Many people like these trees because they quickly grow and provide a nice screen. The problem with this tree is that it has a short life span of about 15 years. Another tree to avoid planting is a Callery Pear tree. Although this tree has pretty white flowers, in many states it is considered an invasive species. It is also considered to be a weak-wooded tree, which means it is prone to storm damage in areas of wind, snow, or ice. A Siberian Elm tree is another tree to avoid planting. These trees grow in much challenging growing areas, but they are also weak-wooded trees. So they are also prone to storm and ice damage. Siberian Elm trees are also considered messy. The last tree to avoid planting is the Tree of Heaven tree. Tree of Heaven trees give off a chemical to kill off competing vegetation. So landscaping around these trees can be difficult.
So when deciding which trees to plant in your yard, you may want to avoid these few examples.
