I also planted a Colorado Blue Spruce this past week. 5.98 at Lowe's in a 1 gallon container. Figured the smaller size would make it easier to establish with summer approaching.

We have 5 grafted pecans, all Indian varieties.
Three mulberry trees, creating a mess right now.
Three BIG Golden Rain Trees.
One BIG hackberry, a couple of smaller ones too.
One Texas Persimmon- Beautiful exfoliating bark!
Three BIG Natchez crepe myrtles.
One kind-of-big orchid tree.
One Confederate Rose that is an honest-to-goodness tree!
Three Burr Oak trees, 12'-15' tall that DH grew from acorns!!

Trees are at a premium here.

We live on a city lot that's 75x150. Through the years have lost a number of trees to hurricane winds and a lightning strike. What was once a shady back yard became almost full sun, but that's gradually changing with the addition of new trees.

A live oak and magnolia take up most of the front yard. Three crepe myrtles (Natchez white, Sioux -- lt. pink, and Dallas Red -- hot pink) along one side. In the back the lone remaining longleaf pine, 2 swamp red maples, river birch, winged elm, 2 crepe myrtles (Natchez & ???), water oak, Chinese elm, Vitex (I let it grow as a tree), a bald cypress, Japanese maple, Grancy Graybeard, a stand of ligustrums pruned into trees, and 3 sweet olives that will eventually be trees.

When we moved, there were several mature trees already. The front yard has a huge Norway maple, an overgrown evergreen smack dab at the corner of the house, and we cut down the dead tree next to it.

The backyard has an ornamental cherry tree that is the major feature of the garden room I normally show. There is also a crabapple that I limbed up last year. I did realize however that now that it is limbed up, I can really only see a small portion of the blooms from inside the house - oops. Otoh, it blooms for such a short period of time, it isn't a huge loss.

We also have a couple of euonymous trees, but one is probably going to get cut down this weekend. It has been leaning more and more to the side, and is splitting down the middle - yikes! I have a love/hate relationship with that tree, I have to admit.

Plus, of course, the baby fruit trees I planted this year. :)

(We also are surrounded by other mature trees - mainly tall evergreens and maples.)

I'm down a lot of trees.
Currently I have two oaks, two pecans and a bunch of small pecan, oak, privit and pecan all of which will be removed.
In the front we have three small styrax, vitex and a crepe myrtle.

I lump trees and shrubs into a "Woodies" category. I consider a shrub a tree if it is over 8' tall and can be limbed up/pruned to resemble the branch structure of a tree. Our acres are surrounded by forest on two sides, so I'll only talk about the trees we planted.

One of my favorite trees is a small maple, Acer buergianum (trident maple). Stress tolerant, has magnificent fall color, attractive bark, and small leaves. It can be hard to find though and even more difficult to find a named cultivar.

A collection of conifers defines our garden more than any other type of plant. The deodor cedar is a tremendously graceful tree. The blue atlas cedar is 15 years old and is just starting to spread its branches. I've only seen mature specimens in Europe and at the National Arboretum in Wash, DC. Hopefully, I will live long enough to see this one mature. They cannot be beat for character. Many Chameacyparis, Cupressus 'Carolina Sapphire', Cryptomeria, Thuja, etc... live here also. One of the most striking is Juniperus rigida, an insanely weeping specimen.

Many spring flowering trees: dogwoods (native and Kousa), styrax, halesia, sweetbay magnolia, fringe tree, native buckeyes, etc...

The london plane tree is both treasured because it provides quick shade and hated because of its huge leaves when they drop.

The golden rain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata), crape myrtles, vitex are showstoppers in the summer.

If I had to do it again, I might have planted a grove of Liquidambar styracifora 'Rotundiloba' (fruitless sweetgum). This has proven to be a great tree.

We have crabapples, magnolias, birch, blue spruce, sassafras, fringetree, styrax, aralia spinosa, japanese maples, weeping cherry, pear, aesculus pavia, hawthorn and are surrounded by oaks, maples, white pines, alder and beech. Also working on pruning a sinocalycalycanthus into a small tree.

Once we get our backyard really ready for planting I'm hoping to add some nice conifers. Spazzycat it sounds like you have a lovely collection.
