Tree Selection Recommendations (IL)

From: Susan D. City: Viola, IL
I have a Bradford Pear tree that looks like it's leaves are turning brown and someone said it was the worst tree to have and live, so give me an idea of what I could plant instead. It will be on the west side of my house and my sunroom looks directly at it, so I want a pretty tree and shade,

Hi Susan: Too many trees to list; therefore, please utilize current websites provided by the University of Illinois and The Morton Arboretum: http://urbanext.illinois.edu/treeselector/ http://www.mortonarb.org/tree-plant-advice.html
