Re: got my loquat planted/ now need tree recommendation

I'd guess different species. We have both low growersa and small tree forms.

Really-  I've never seen a tree-sized crepe myrtle around here!  Hmmm-
maybe our hot dry weather stunts their growth??

What crepe myrtle are you referring to? Just curious-'Natchez' (which
is white) gets 25-30 ft tall and is gorgeous with peeling cinnamon
colored bark.

Naw- don't really want another pear.  They are Ok, but they are
everywhere here.  Crepe myrtles don't get very big and I want shade
for the south side of my house again someday....  Thanks for helping
me think about this...

Theresa-there is another ornamental pear that is stonger than
bradofrd- Calliope, or calypso, or something with a "C"   It was
bred after all the bradfors started splitting down the middle. Just
a suggestion in case you want another.  How about a crepe myrtle?
Those are always great IMO.

Thanks for the advice - but I already know the tree is my
responsibility. They came out and cleaned up the half that fell
into the street earlier this year when it split, but made it clear
that the tree was on my property, not the right of way (apparently
the right of way only includes the sidewalk and area between the
sidewalk and street).

 When we moved here, the subdivision planted trees there.  Mine
died, so I was
going to replace it.  Found out there was a 'list' of trees that
could be
planted here enforced by the village.  I didn't care for any of
them, so I let
them replace it with whatever they wanted....and I must say, they
do take care
of 'that' tree coming thru pruning etc.....

On to a new tree issue:
I need to replace the stupid bradford pear along the street (in
the hell
strip). Any suggestions of what to plant? I want something
deciduous- so
that I get the south sun on the house in winter....
