Just moved into a home about 4 months ago. We have big front yard (around 18,000 square feet). We had to take down a tree that died from insects so now the yard is really open.
We are set back 200 feet from the road so we have a lot of room to play with...want a couple trees that do not grow super big (thinking 20-25 feet max) since I don't want to cause any issues of roots growing towards the driveway or near our septic system.
Looking for thoughts on a tree that will stand the New England weather, not grow too big and looks nice.
Saw Hybrid Poplar, Autumn Blaze Maples online that looked nice.
I had an Autumn Blaze Maple in Memphis. Loved it! Pretty tree with gorgeous fall color, even in the mid-south where there isn't a lot of vivid color. Grows moderately fast and doesn't drop a lot of 'trash'. Withstood a couple of nasty ice storms too.
Even if you don't want to buy bare-root saplings for your yard, their tree tips and tree selection are great. You enter your zip code to get started so that you get zone-appropriate trees.
