| I recently had to remove a very large oak that died and it turned a shady section of my yard into sunny. Any ideas for a focal point? I would love a suggestion for a snall to medium sized tree that can handle 4-5 hours of hot Georgia afternoon sun and would look good with my yellow twig and red twig dogwood shrubs. This tree would be the main sight directly ahead as people enter through a side arbor gate and walk up a pebble path. |

| If it would be seen behind the dogwoods then maybe some kind of dark green conifer. |

| I think a nice pointy baldcypress would be good contrast to the rounded crown of your dogwoods. As a bonus, it's native. I know you said smallish, but it will keep a narrow crown, and if you had an oak anyway... Just water it well until it's established. |
