We are open to ALL suggestions - thank you in advance for any of your suggestions - mg & yf hailey

Any chance you are near Bloomington? I've got a good friend there, who is an arborist: D. Fowler

Not sure what title he uses - might be Fowler Tree Service.

Your tree experience is a lot like what I see on Oregon. Those types of pears become demolished regularly.

Do you care it the trees drop pods, or would you prefer something with smaller seeds like maples? I'm fond of maples because the wood is fairly sturdy on the better formed ones.

Scarlet oaks are nice too. Look like pin oaks, but don't hang onto brown leaves all winter like pin oaks.

Lots of good trees out there. Site conditions dictate choices. Purdue should have a list of choices to fit your site and goals. For a small fast-growing ornamental redbuds, /cercis canadensis are hard to beat.
