Q.Selecting a tree for a small front yard
My daughter is looking or a tree that will not get too large but will provide some shade and will have a pretty foliage in the winter. There is a problem with roots where an old tree had to be taken down there. Any suggestions? She lives in Virginia. Thank you. Helen
