Which tree would be best?

17 years ago

I would like to add trees with fruit for birds to my yard. I already have, in a large raised bed, a Serviceberry and four Blue Muffins, along with the standard perennials, cosmos, black eyed susan, cleome, coneflower, etc.

The tree will be planted near a picket fence with due west exposure. I am planning on three. I would like to use them for a windbrake, planting shade loving perennials, bulbs and shrubs under.

The candidates are:

Hawthorn-thornless

Chokecherry

Pagoda Dogwood

Crabapple

I am interested in pros and cons of each. Also if there is another better candidate you can recommend. Thanks!
