Zappa thanks for the recommendation of the Chinese Pistache. After looking at it and reading, I think that may be a great option. Perfect height to still provide shade and look nice in the front yard.

consider tupelo/blackgum and cow/swampchestnut oak as well, or the fruitless gumball tree/sweetgum

I planted a 15 gal C Pistache in the front yard 3 years ago to replace a 20+ year Bradford pear. Growing well and I’m encouraged. I know the LSU AgCenter considers it to be a under utilized home landscape tree, and it’s a Texas SuperStar plant.
