I just ripped out a huge section of Myrtle on this side of the house and am looking to add a tree or tall shrub near the corner of my house. I had a suggestion for a Green Emerald Arborvitae but maybe thinking of a small to medium size tree. This house is a ranch and faces North. It would receive a strong amount of sun. I plan on adding other shrubs so it wont be the only thing there, but am looking for something large to smooth out and anchor that side of the house. Thank you
