Shade trees are a wonderful addition to any home's landscape. A lot of memories are created in planting the tree and watching it grow - taking pictures of growing family and family members in front of it or under it, laying underneath and watching the leaves flutter and make nature sounds with the wind.
Here are recommendations for excellent shade trees for your yard. Note that some of these get huge - very tall and wide, and you'll want to plan accordingly given your space and the distance needed away from roof lines and your home in general.
