One of the most important questions you need to ask yourself when selecting trees for your landscaping design is: Why do you want a tree? The answer usually boils down to one of the following reasons:
To add color, nothing will beat a flowering tree such as a variety of Japanese Maple, or a variety of Crape Myrtle. Also think about the time of season you want the color to emerge within the landscaping. Spring flowering trees such as varieties of dogwood or crabapple trees are best. For fall flowering trees, consider an Autumn Flowering Cherry.
Evergreen trees such as the Utah state tree, the blue spruce, or any variety of cypress or fir trees are the best types of trees to plant for secluding areas of your yard, or serve as a windbreak for some of your more fragile trees or shrubs.
If it is shade that you are looking for, look no further than planting a variety of maple or sycamore and plant them on the south or west side of your property.
