If you want to plant one near your house, make sure to consider spreading roots as they will break through concrete walks and walls.

We have a rather large tree in the back yard, a rose of sharon bush, and quite a few bushes of various kinds, some of them used as a border. I really want to change some of them soon. I'd like to replace them with flowering bushes since they're evergreen now.
