What kind of tree would you recommend at the corner of the house that will look nice but not be a pain?
One option to consider is Sweetbay Magnolia, native, tall upright, reasonably narrow canopy. I don’t think they will grow as large as indicated in the literature in an urban landscape particularly if near to a driveway or other hard structure (house slab) that restricts root spread, but one of the resident landscape architects on the board can weigh in on that. LINK. They are available as single or multi-trunk.
I planted two 3 years ago, on each corner of the front facade to replace 2 river birches were the end of their life and looking ratty.
