Hello,
I had this large Pear Tree that was too close to the house. I got rid of it last spring. Looking for a replacement tree. Need to be small so it won't be problem for the house. Some kind of accent tree?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Location: Ohio.
Also have these rose bushes that I need to get rid of. Any suggestions also welcome.
Thanks

I have 2 seedlings I started 2yrs ago and will be planting them to replace some undesirable weed trees!
Are you looking for something formal for the front of the house?
If you are, I would suggest spiral junipers, or somthing similar!
What kind of tree do you want?
I will not say any place is the best but I will tell you the little I know.
I bought 2 Pear trees, 1 Apple tree, 2 Cherry trees, and 1 Nectarine tree (last one today) from Home Depot and Lowes. Along with Blue Berries and Black Berries. Everything I have bought from them has done well.
Some have not grown much as they were planted late in the year. Pear tree planted first grew a good 2 1/2 feet.
At any rate if you want a fruit tree the Nectarine I bought today is a dwarf that is supposed to max out at 6' tall and 10' wide. At most.
If your not looking for something specific, look around a nuseries, Home Depot/Lowes and see what they have. Just be sure to read the label and see how tall and wide it will get.
Spose I can also add it cost all of $10 dollars. And a pic to go with. My 6 year old daughter standing next to it. She even had to help plant it.
