need a tree for zone 9A - shade and color, please!
Comments (13)Aggressive roots on the weeping willow though. And they drop quite a bit of litter. I second the sweetgum. The florida native sweetgums develop much smaller spikey seed balls than the rest of the country. There's also a fruitless cultivar called rounditaloba. Also has rounded leaves. Sweetgums aren't going to develop a low canopy for climbing though. But the fall color is excellent. They're difficult and slow to transplant but heat, drought, poor & poorly draining soil tolerant. In most of florida sweetgums color well and hold the colored leaves for practically the whole winter....See MoreWeeping cherry within the 50' zone of a walnut tree
Comments (0)I found a list compiled from Ohio State University saying a list of fruit trees that can be grown near Black Walnut trees. (Surprised me I thought no fruit baring trees went near walnut trees) Cherry was on the list of things you can plant near a walnut tree. I am considering 50 foot from trunk...not the drip line for the planting. After researching I don't feel I should have any trouble at all...surly weeping cherry falls into the same category as a cherry fruit baring tree in being tolerant of juglone. Even though it is considered an ornamental tree. http://www.planterspalette.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/black-walnut-toxicity.pdf...See Morewillow tree in zone 9b
Comments (4)It depends on how far south in Florida as to whether a weeping willow would survive. Even if you're north of the survival line, that doesn't mean the tree is going to perform well or look great, which is why, I presume, you want it. When plants are planted close to the limit of their range, they may eke out a life, but not be very happy about it. If there are no weeping willows anywhere around you, it is likely that everyone before you learned that they don't do well there....See MoreType of tree and placement for tight space in Zone 9
Comments (22)Assuming current situation elsewhere in a large part of moister parts of the country is also in effect in your dry area spoilage by leaf spot likely with the photinia. Otherwise I have seen the 'Montic' (no 'e' when it's a hawthorn tree and not Nathaniel Hawthorne) and the arbutus looking great in coastal southern California. With the latter developing this stunning bark not seen on plantings of it up here - for as long as they last this far north. But note that it develops some pretty good size in time, with the Marina District tree in San Francisco upon which the cultivar was based being about 50' tall some years ago. Returning to the subject of broadleaf evergreen litter the poster child for this is Magnolia grandiflora. So you have already committed to this involvement with your plantings of 'Little Gem'. Which by the way I have seen about 42' tall in the Los Angeles basin - the original seedling providing the basis for the cultivar was tall and narrow....See More

last yearI actually have a mayten tree in our backyard. I didn’t mention that previously because mine is not a good example. When I saw it in golden gate park I just loved how it looked. So I planted a baby one in our yard but didn’t really plant it a good location. I don’t think mine will ever realize it’s true potential because my yard is too small and I just squished it in where i had space. But it now almost 20 years later it is providing privacy from the neighbors and the branches are now giving the weeping effect so it is pretty to sit under it in the hammock
