Big leaf
Posted 09-24-2017 at 02:02 AM by Nn2036
FWIW, big leaf magnolia (magnolia macrophylla is generally NOT evergreen). IF you are in the PNW (if you're not the madrone (arbutus menziesii) may not be a happy tree.
some other trees/large shrubs that can be trained as trees to possibly consider:
English laurel/prunus lauracerasus
Portugal laurel/p. lusitanica
Carolina cherry-laurel/p. caroliniana
holly oak/quercus ilex
canyon live oak/q. chrysolepis
Japanese live oak/q. myrsinifolia
silverleaf oak/q. hypoleucoides
wax myrtle (either the western myrica californica or the eastern m. cerifera
strawberry tree/arbutus unedo
"red neck rhododendron"/daphniphyllum macropodum
eucalyptus neglecta
photinia serratifolia (and p. x fraseri/"red tip" too often used as a hedge but makes a nice small tree)
viburnum tinus
v. rhytidophyllum
myrtlewood/umbellularia calfifornica
tanoak/lithocarpus densiflorus
henry tanoak/l. henryi (very rare but a wonderful tree with lush "tropical" looking foliage).
