If you have the top down on your convertible, don’t park it under a magnolia tree in April… even for a few minutes.
What?… don’t have a convertible, don’t have a magnolia – ok fine... then here is your tip.
Unless you really like yard maintenance, don’t plant these in your yard, and if you already have them... might I suggest cutting them down (my wife is cringing right now).
Magnolia trees – they are stunning in April, but they shed something different with every season requiring a lot of clean up.
Willow trees – you will be picking up branches in a hundred foot radius several times a year.
Wisteria – (altho my green-thumbed wife loves these) they put on a beautiful show in the late spring, and their heady aroma is intoxicating. But they will grow up, over, and on anything they touch. They also grow wildly fast, requiring frequent pruning during the growing season (unless you don't mind them in the house with you). We have one that tries to pull me off the tractor as I drive by.
