Out of the thousands of Tree Sales in Austin at Alfaro Tree Sales, Inc. not all are a great fit. Though the tree is strong, it was not bought with the right purpose in mind. A big tree would not fit in a small yard. A small tree may never grow to a certain size, and certain trees drop excessive foliage that is unsuitable for certain landscapes. These questions matter and they will steer buyers to the right Tree Sales in Austin.
What is the main goal?
Different trees carry various characteristics. A homeowner needs to ask what their main goal is. For example, are they looking to build an area for the dogs and the family to play? Having a major portion of the yard coated in the shade could be pretty important. This would favor a larger tree with an established size and expectant life span. The trunk is an immediate giveaway. The thickness of the trunk compared to the size of the tree will indicate potential size. A tree that fills in as shade should probably not bear fruit- unless one is trying to recreate the story of the apple that fell on Newton’s head.
Is the tree resilient?
Will the tree be planted in an urban environment? Is there a lot of rainfall? Maple, oak, and Sweet Gum are extremely resilient to urban environments. They have a tendency to be combative against a poorer air quality, bad water drainage, and typical pollutants from cars and nearby buildings. Those in a more rural neighborhood may not need to take account of these concerns. But, it matters for those in a high-traffic part of the city.
How big will the tree get?
This is perhaps the biggest question. If the yard is small, a large tree can actually impede the property itself by developing roots underneath the home. It could also create a potential problem in a terrible storm.
Others are buying a tree as a decorative option. They may dismiss aspects such as the tree having thorns or bearing fruit. Of course, the fruit feature may be the main selling point. In the case, the tree’s current size is extremely important. Have a bit of fun asking these questions and finding a tree that has the right “personality.”
