To make a space seem smaller, plant coarse-textured trees along the perimeter and fine-textured trees close to the home.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trees with coarse textures include:<\/h3>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Japanese maple trees<\/li>    <li>Carolina silverbell<\/li>    <li>Southern magnolias<\/li>    <li>Tulip poplar<\/li> <\/ul>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trees with fine textures include:<\/h3>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Willow oaks<\/li>    <li>Deodar cedar<\/li>    <li>Moss white silver birch tree<\/li>    <li>Peppermint willow<\/li> <\/ul>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Create a Focal Point with a Tree<\/h2>    <p>Whether it\u2019s a large tree in the middle of your front yard or an ornamental tree designated to add oomph to your garden design or draw attention to a walkway, trees used as focal points can tie all parts of a landscape together.<\/p>    <p>Think about the mood you want to set and the statement you want to make when choosing such an attention-grabber. Opt for trees with colorful flowers or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/landscaping\/tree-shapes-for-your-yard\/\">distinctive shapes<\/a>, leaf colors, or textures. A few to try:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Flowering dogwood tree (<i>cornus florida)<\/i><\/li>    <li>River birch tree (<i>betula nigra<\/i>)<\/li>    <li>Japanese zelkova (<i>zelkova serrata<\/i>)<\/li>    <li>Crape myrtle (<i>lagerstroemia indica<\/i>)<\/li>    <li>\u201cBracken\u2019s Brown Beauty\u201d magnolia (<i>magnolia grandiflora<\/i>)<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Depending on the type, specimen trees may also double as shade trees, flowering trees, privacy trees, food and shelter for wildlife, and sources of fall color.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Before deciding on a <a href=\"https:\/\/content.ces.ncsu.edu\/extension-gardener-handbook\/15-tree-fruit-and-nuts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fruit tree or nut tree<\/a>, make sure you have ample space in your yard, and select a spot that gets full sun for at least six hours a day.<\/p>    <p>The best fruit and nut trees to grow in the Piedmont are:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Apple trees<\/li>    <li>Chestnut trees<\/li>    <li>Fig trees<\/li>    <li>Pecan trees<\/li>    <li>Asian and European pear trees<\/li>    <li>American and Asian persimmon trees<\/li>    <li>Plum trees<\/li>    <li>Southern crabapple<\/li> <\/ul>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Plant Trees for Privacy and Screening<\/h2>    <p>Hide unattractive utility boxes in your side yard, or establish living fencing between your home and your neighbors\u2019 with privacy trees. Besides blocking certain parts of your property from view of others, these trees can also aid in blocking wind and reducing noise pollution.<\/p>    <p>Evergreens, including conifers, are the best options for screening, as they maintain their leaves or needles year-round. A few examples:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>\u201cGreen Giant\u201d arborvitae<\/li>    <li>Eastern red cedar<\/li>    <li>Loblolly pine<\/li>    <li>\u201cNellie R.

Is it deciduous or evergreen? How fast or slow will it grow? For example, Trees Charlotte suggests planting large, canopy trees along the south and west sides of your home for shade. Situate smaller trees underneath canopy trees or power lines.<\/p>    <p>Considering these factors along with a tree\u2019s aesthetics will help prevent major problems from arising down the road.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ About Landscaping with Trees in Charlotte<\/h2>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which trees grow best in Charlotte?<\/h3>    <p>Located in the Piedmont, Charlotte\u2019s Plant Hardiness Zones are 7b and 8a.
