15 Types of Trees That Should Never be in a Person’s Front or Backyard

Any hiker, outdoorsman, or weekend wilderness walker will tell you how much they love the excitement and thrill of nature. But there is a special something about weaving in and out of trees that really makes a person feel good. Trees are, for the most part, tall and majestic. They are good for the Earth and mean no harm to any man.

Well … That is not necessarily true.

While walking in the forest and enjoying the majesty of trees is one thing, it is quite another to have said trees in your front or back yard. Honestly, there are some trees out there that really do not like humans or beasts of any kind!

We’re not blaming them. It is nature that made them what they are and that in itself is something to be admired. But appreciate them from a distance that is not near your home.

After the break go over to the next page and read up on fifteen (15) types of trees you really do not want to have in your front or back yard!

    Let’s just not plant any trees. Your list has some viable do not plant, but trees like Norway maple and walnut should stay.

    Every tree has its downside. Know those downsides and plant accordingly.

    Who the heck wrote that list? NOT a survivor! Mulberries are wonder trees. Hard to kill, provide an amazing amount of fruit, and feed fruit loving birds: robins, cardinals, waxwings, etc. They also distract local birds from eating more valuable fruit like serviceberries and cherries. Lindon is graceful, with great shade and its a huge nectar producer for bees. The drupes are reported to be a coffee substitute and has a multitude of herbal usages. Ginko trees! are you kidding? Yes, only the female trees are “messy”…but the female trees are the fruit producers. Reported to be good for memory, the nuts are extremely nutritious. Black walnut is messy. It stops most plants from growing near it. But its wood is very strong. The nuts are nutritious and numerous.( usually). Its hardy. So…definitely think before you plant something as long lived as a tree…but make sure you accurately weigh your options!

    With proper pruning almost every tree on this list can be good trees to own! Aside from the Russian olive, eucalyptus, and Chinese tallow the others can be great trees but you have to use a skilled arborist to prune and maintain them.
