Re: smoke tree

Hi Tigerliley and welcome.
       Parts of the smoke tree can be poisonous to animals, but it is
attractive. With a yellow house I might lean toward a white flowering tree
or shrub. How about Amelanchier (Service berry) ? there are many cultivars
and most produce lovely
fall color, white flowers and eatable fruit. I just bought one from
Forestfarm. OG (organic gardening ) has a article in it's March/April issue
if you want to see one or read about one. There are also a number of
Magnolias , and Maples that are small enough for a limited space.
