The yard is almost exactly oriented east to west, so um...it would shade

mind getting shaded out (shade loving hardy palms perhaps? :)). So one
planted towards the back wouldnt shade out the house (I think).

Kind of like they are gathering up momentum to send their shoots skyward?
I cant wait to see in twenty years how big the trees planted at that
Shopping center will be. I suspect they'll all be cut down though.
