Which trees and where to plan?

10 years ago

Hi,

I would like to plan a couple (2 to 4) of small to mid-size (10-25ft) deciduous flowering trees in my front yard. Please recommend me some trees and where I should plant them. Some trees that I like are Crape Myrtle, Japanese Maple, and flowering Pear.

Are you "south bay" as in San Jose or "south bay" as in Torrance?

South bay as in San Jose. We would like some trees that have nice flowers or foliage, low maintenance and not evasive. So please recommend us some. Also, please help us pick the right locations to plant the trees to make the front-yard look nice.
