Hello All. I posted this question around a month ago, but my landscaping has changed, so I figured I would update the question.

I am planning on planting a tree in a landscape bed in the front of my house on the left hand side. The location is approx. 7-10 feet from the home. What do you recommend putting here that would grow between 20-25 feet. I want to use the tree to add height to this side and flow with my asemmetical home. I will take a picture tomorrow morning and post a current updated picture of my landscape.

Some of the trees I have been considering are:
Crape Myrtle
Kentuckae 'Perkins Pink' (yellowwood?)- I know this can grown from 30-50 feet, but I have not read anything about an exact spread, and it is a slow grower, so it would probably take an extremely long time before it would become a problem

I was told by a landscaper friend that it 7 feet, almost any tree will do, as I can easily prune at this range and I stress almost.....I would never plant something here that would reach a 50 foot spread

This is from the side. The area that is wide open is where I would like to place the tree.

Love the rainbow from the sprinkler! Crape myrtle was my first thought, due to the long blooming period. I have a similar garden in front and I just put in a dwarf cm. I wish I had ordered a larger cm, this one has a whole lot of growin to do to be even noticable. A dogwood or magnolia may do also. Good luck. Your garden is lovely.
