Tree for the front of the house
Since my Japanese maple was cut in half by someone that was working on my house in the past few months, I am looking into planting a new tree there. I am looking now for a taller tree, because the house is now bigger.
I was looking on line last night and found a great website that has trees that are fast growing and are available in our zone (7).
Danielle and I liked this tree:
Flowering Cherry Tree
and
Okame Cherry tree
Anyone have either one of these trees, or have any recommendations on a tree?
Thanks,
Scott

Re: Tree for the front of the house
My neighbor across the street has the first tree you posted, I think. It's not the best picture since it was from my cell but you get the idea. They have the tree to the left of there house and driveway.
I think it looks pretty off to the side. I don't think I would put that type of tree in the middle of the front yard because it doesn't get very tall. I also like the second one better.

I have the kwanzan cherry and love it! I'm in NC, but I am almost positive it's fine for NY too!

Re: Tree for the front of the house
The tree is fine for NY - I checked the zone. Ny is zone 7 and the zones for the tree are between 6 and 9.
Do you have a picture of the tree flowering at your house?

it's still only about 5-6ft talll, but already flowering beautifully. We planted it for my DD. I don't have any pics yet, but I need to get some since this is the 1st year we saw it bloom
