What are guidelines for where to plant a tree?

Preplan your plant locations

Always consider the size of a shrub or tree before planting it. Often young plants are planted too close to a house, fence, or each other, overgrowing their allotted space and preventing proper development. If too close to a house they can darken rooms, obscure views, and even make it difficult to wash windows or paint trim.
