Although the types of trees you select for your landscape design need to match the climate where you live, you'll find numerous varieties suitable for your particular zone.
Here are some ideas for the best trees to plant in your particular part of the country: Northwest - Cedar, hemlock and spruce trees all make great choices if you're in the Northwestern part of the United States.
Cedars provide beautiful foliage giving you plenty of shade while hemlocks produce a loose and thin type of leaf.
With the spruce you can have Christmas trees all year long! New England States - If you live in this area you need to get some maple trees.
They're everywhere you look in this part of the country and draw countless tourists each fall when their beautiful leaves start to turn.
Of course there will be some raking involved for you or a neighborhood kid needing a few bucks.
Other than the annual falling off of leaves, maples are pretty easy to care for and come in a few different varieties.
California - You can grow a number of different trees in this state and you'll find the popular types do vary as you move up and down the coastline.
Northerners will find fir, pine and redwood trees do the best while Southern California works well for oak, pine and eucalyptus tree selections.
Other states do well with these types of trees so it's important to check your own climate zone and choose the species that are known to thrive in your area.
While it's possible to grow nearly anything given the proper care, your landscape will do much better when in its natural habitat.
Often you'll find when trees are planted in a location they naturally thrive in, insects, fungus and other problems are not as big an issue.
When it comes to a beautiful landscape, leaves and shade aren't everything.
Fruit trees can add value to your home and provide fresh, healthy fruit as well.

Aside from that, you'll probably be getting your oranges and grapefruits at the local grocery store.
Finally, the tree that provides both fruit and beauty through its gorgeous blooms each year is the cherry tree.
While cherry trees do best in Virginia and the Washington DC area, you'll find they can grow in other areas as well.
All trees will require a bit of care, especially early on when they're first planted.
Watering and pruning will be tasks to study up on and do consistently.
