These folks were not playing when they put together this list, folks. They must’ve done some serious research because it’s extensive.
They’ve even categorized their list, into shade providers, Coniferous or Columnar, and fruit or flowering trees, so you can find the big green giant best for you.
Making a decision is tough, especially when it’s something you’ll have to commit to, and besides throwing together some kind of personality quiz that will tell you ‘which tree totally represents your best quality,’ (We think we’re an Oak, ourselves), this might be your best resource.
