How do I choose the right tree species for my garden?

Choosing the right tree species depends on your climate, soil type, and the space available. What conditions do you have?

I live in a temperate climate with clay soil and a small yard.

For a temperate climate with clay soil, consider trees like Red Maple or Serviceberry. They thrive in those conditions.

What about the size of the tree? I want something that won't overpower my small yard.

In that case, look for smaller ornamental trees like Japanese Maple or Flowering Dogwood. They add beauty without taking up too much space.

Are there any trees that attract wildlife?

Yes! Trees like Oak and Crabapple not only fit well in small spaces but also attract birds and beneficial insects.
