Trees are great for providing shade and yard appeal, but they also increase your property worth by $1500. Read on to learn how to choose trees that fit your yard, maintenance level, and aesthetic perfectly.
Why do I want a tree?
Before you start looking for a tree, take a moment to consider your reasons for wanting one. Do you want privacy or shade? Are you looking to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your backyard, or perhaps you want to grow your own fruits? Understanding why you want a tree will guide you toward finding the perfect tree for your needs.
Hardwood vs Softwood Trees
Every tree grows at different rates. For example, Hardwoods and Japanese Maples are slow-growing trees that tend to have a longer life.
If you are looking for a tree sooner rather than later, softwood trees are a great option. However, these trees are smaller and do not live as long. But, they grow quickly and can offer aesthetic appeal to your backyard.
Payless Tip: When you visit the Payless Nursery to see their selection of ready-to-plant trees, don’t forget to ask about the growth rate of each tree.
Fruit Trees
Instead of going to the market for fruits, consider growing your own in your yard! San Jose is a great place to grow a variety of fruit trees.
If you have always wanted to have your own fresh pears, peaches, or oranges, now is a great time to invest in your own fruit tree. Payless Hardware, Rockery, and Nursery have a great selection of healthy fruit trees that are ready to plant.
Safety and Maintenance
Homeowners should also consider the maintenance of trees before investing in one. Some trees are messier throughout the seasons. For example, Sycamores and London plane trees shed bark, twigs, and fuzzy balls all over your backyard.
Other trees are great for climbing, such as Mature Maples. If you have a family with small children, it is best to avoid selecting a tree with thorns or weeds.
