Beautiful Centerpieces

We do not plant trees for us, plants for future generations. Whether a mature English oak, a pink dogwood, a Japanese maple, crape myrtle or .... which would make a wonderful piece for a large piece of land?

Area:? I live in Arkansas.

We have an acre of land in North Carolina and planted two dogwood (centered) in our front yard. A head (red) and Princess (white). Down our property line, we planted cherry blossoms (pink) and mountain laurel (purple). With blisters that occur each spring, we have a colorful landscape.

I would choose a tree south I do not know much about my life in the North. I would go with a large tree South Hardy has lived long.

I live in the south and if it's a big piece of land I plant oak trees, they are big and beautiful.

I'm not familiar enough with the trees that grow in your part of the country to make a specific recommendation. What seems to work well for most people I work with is a tree that is unique in form, and produces a showy flower at some point in the season. Attracting wildlife is often a consideration.

If you ask a real estate agent, they tell you a mature, producing fruit trees add value to your property. A wildlife lovers will tell you a tree that produces fruit, nuts or seeds that is sought by birds and animals is what they want. An artist will tell you they want something that will complement the overview of the tree will produce. The daily average Joe wants something that requires little or no maintenance, and generally takes care of itself.

You can not beat the beauty and grace of a big ol 'oak. They are living works of art and architecture all at once. Choose an oak and live about 100 years, it will be magnificent.

Oaks grow slowly further north you go. If I were in southern Arkansas is what I plant. They never lose their leaves and have a nice "wider than high-" form.
Farther north, in Arkansas, I plant white oak. It is difficult to find, and everything you find for sale can be quite small. But they are so majestic. Most tour of Burgundy in the fall and the leaves have the classic form of oak leaves.
Otherwise, the search for a Shumard oak. They grow in the medium - fast and are easily accessible. They also have good fall color. Avoid Willow Oak and Pin Oak, unless you plan to leave the skirt branches on the ground like a Christmas tree.
