An alternative to large trees would be to plant ornamental trees. They wouldn't grow to the height of the larger variety,so should not pose a problem during storms.I myself have many oramental trees and I prefer these myself.Don't have to worry about them getting into power lines and such.We have power lines running directly across our front lawn so we cannot put large trees in. |
