Trees for a shaded dooryard plan in Ohio
The Ohio Farmer advises screening the northerly dooryard corner with a snug screen and planting a mix of ornamental and fruit trees. Suggestions include chinense magnolia or rhododendrons, a north-side tree such as an ashy birch or catalpa, a rapid-grower shade tree, and fruit trees like Western Beauty and Ohio Nonpareil. Decorative options include Schwed Jeril Norway maple and plantings of horse chestnut and hawthorns, with emphasis on selecting quality, not cheapest, trees and budgeting under $18 for 23 trees.
