We are looking for a few choices on good trees to plant next to out garage - it would get some morning light and by 1 PM good light until sundown. The spot is on our garage's west side and our wind comes predominantly from the NW. As we are near or at 70 years of age, we would like a tree that would be hardy, drought friendly, and a tree that would grow somewhat quickly, so that we could enjoy it.
I have heard of the Lantern Tree, but do not know if it would be happy here.
We have Ponderosa, gamble oaks, mountain mahogany, sage and lots of happy weeds. The deer eat almost everything, including our firs and spruces, which were imported.
Thanks!
