ˇI just totally agree with you! I think that when you choose native
plants you can't go wrong. They will allways fit into the landscape and
weather, better than any exotic. And they look much better. Also you
have to consider the ecological benefits of those species, that are
impossible with the foreign ones.
 ˇPlant a native tree! Everybody will thank you...        :)
