I thought I would open a thread for all your valuable suggestions on what my sister could plant at her brand new home. The property only has a beautiful house now, and no trees at all. I have encountered a few that are highly commercialized (and genetically altered for ornamental puropses), and turn out to be the worst choice, ie. Bradford Pear. Why I wouldn't suggest that to anyone? (pictured below)

What are some wonderful trees for her to plant in Justin Texas (zone7b)?

What do you love about said 'wonderful' tree?

What Not to plant?
Why?

Any or all answers are appreciated very much, and will be carefully relayed to Jana!
