My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help choosing a reliable native tree for wildlife? Z6

10 years ago

Hello, in the spring I am going to become an Arbor day member and receive ten free trees. Here is what I have already chosen: mountainash, serviceberry, crabapple, red delicious apple, hawthorn, dogwood, weigela, red buckeye, and fosters holly. What is another tree I should choose? I would love to see orioles, warblers, rose-breasted grosbeaks, chipmunks etc. My house is on a quarter acre lot with some maples and oaks already, so I don't have room for large specimen trees.
