Information icon Trees from the tree sale do not qualify as replacement trees for tree removal permits.
Medium (25 feet and taller): Needs more generous yard space. Measure the space to make sure branches won't interfere with nearby structures, before planting in the ground.
Small (12 to 25 feet): Good for limited yard space. Measure the space to make sure branches won't interfere with nearby structures, before planting in the ground.
Dwarf (1 to 12 feet): Grows much smaller than the typical species. Species under 8 feet can often be grown in containers in smaller spaces.
