Where to Plant Trees 
Trees planted about the house should accomplish 
the two-fold purpose of framing the view of the 
house, and providing shade at the right place and 
at the time of day when it is needed. Trees planted 
nearer the corners of the house, rather than directly 
in front, will greatly enhance the appearance of the 
home and provide the much needed shade as well. 
Ordinarily trees should be planted sufficiently 
far apart to allow them to develop naturally. An 
exception is when they are used for screening out 
some unsightly view or for windbreak purposes. 
Small, ornamental trees can display their Rower or 
fruit to advantage either on the lawn or in the 
border.
