Some trees that are messy and weak wooded include silver maple hybrid

cottonwood. Better choices are Chinese elm, Japanese zelkova, pin oak, red maple, river birch, tulip poplar, and willow oak.

• Red and silver maples, willows, poplars, and elms can clog septic lines with their roots. Plant these species well away from water lines and sewers.

• Regularly water newly planted trees and shrubs during the first year or two after planting to help establish a good root system. They need at least one inch of water each week. It is better to water deeply once a week than to water lightly every day.

• Prune out winter-killed wood on trees and shrubs by cutting back to green wood after new growth begins.
