Planting trees in your yard can be fun, but planting the wrong trees for your space can lead to quite a bit of hassle later. There are some simple things you can do to make sure you choose the right trees for your space, though. Consider the full grown size of the tree, and make sure it will have enough space to grow to maturity without harming your home. Generally, the canopy and root size of a tree are equivalent, so plant far enough away from your home to keep your foundation and your roof safe once it grows up.
