Zone 10 tree rec's for a small front yard

Posted by soble Zone 10 (My Page) on

Hi,

we have a small, rectangle-shaped front yard (about 200 square feet). I am looking for recommendations on a Zone 10 tree that we can plant in front of our house. I am looking for something lush, romantic and elegant that will provide some dappled shade (don't want to kill the grass underneath).

Our house is an aesthetic fixer and we are trying to find an affordable way to add some beauty.

Any ideas would be deeply appreciated!!

Thanks!

There are a lot of (much different) zone 10's. You'll need to state where you are in order to have the correct plants being recommended. See my profile (IL 5/6). You should really update your profile. Go to the bottom of any GW page and click:

There you will see how to update your page.

Best Regards,

Jacaranda or mimosa. Both are perfect for zone 10 and will give you flowers, dappled shade, and they don't get very large.
