I need something that will grow and not be a monster with roots etc. No evergreens.

Does it drop any seeds? I know that it is not the nut bearing tree, but any mess? How long did it take to grow?

Flowering Pears are good if you're limited on space. They grow tall and narrow.

3 pears and 6 laurels. They all grew from 8 feet to 15 feet in one year.
- in the historic district.
They don't drop a lot of leaves and although the laurels have black berries, I don't see them on teh ground much.
Maybe the squirrels and raccoons eat them all.

Good question! Inquiring minds want to know! I love this forum. My husband and I were working in the yard over the weekend and I was mentiioning the different trees that might go in the backyard and he is wondering where I am getting all the info. I just point out that I asked the myfolsom readers their experience and opinions. More accurate than the landscape books that say the tree that we had to chop down would be a perfect patio tree!
Keep the suggestions coming.

Are you trying to get shade or privacy or block a view? There are evergreens that don't grow that tall and lack invasive roots. Just depends on what you want. I agree on the Chinese Pistache, they're GREAT trees with good shade and beautiful fall color.

Braford Pears smell to high heaven in the spring- Awful trees.
The Pistach is a good tree - no smell but best to buy in the fall so you can see the leaf colors as some are brilliant and others just so so ... No real mess with them either and a good root system- but set it up initially with a 3" pipe for deep watering to drive the roots down as you should with any tree. - DO NOT get Tallow as messy messy - Crepe Mertles are nice as well.
why no Evergreen ?
cheers

Chinese elm have horrible surface root problems and will tear up a patio or cemet within 10 feet. They are also weak branched after 15 or so years so can have large branches falling in storms.
