1. Tree Size
A tree looks tiny when it’s just a seedling, a cutting or even a smaller potted tree that you can transfer onto the ground. However, you must do your research on how large it can grow to make sure that it’s something you would want for your home. You must know how much space it may occupy when it is already in its full growth potential. When doing your research, don’t just focus on the average tree size. Best if you would find out how the largest of this tree species has grown so you won’t have to worry about it later on.
2. Maintenance
The amount of time you are willing to devote for maintenance also matters. For instance, there are trees that shed a lot of leaves all year round. If so, you must be ready for a lot of daily garden cleaning. There are also others that require regular trimming. There are also some trees that require very little maintenance and even just occasional watering!
