Find the Perfect Shade Tree for Your Yard
A magnificent shade tree is more than just a plant; it’s a long-term investment in your property’s comfort, beauty, and value. These living landmarks provide a cooling canopy during hot summer months, create a stunning backdrop for family memories, and can significantly lower energy bills. At How Sweet It Is, our family-owned nursery in Eden, MD, is dedicated to helping you select the perfect shade tree to grace your landscape for generations to come.
How to Choose the Right Shade Tree
Selecting the ideal shade tree starts with evaluating your space. Consider the mature height and spread to ensure it fits your yard without overwhelming it. Think about the growth rate—do you want fast results or a slow, steady grower? Finally, consider its seasonal character, from spring blossoms and summer foliage to brilliant fall colors. Our team can help you weigh these factors to make the best choice.

More Than Just Shade: Added Benefits
The advantages of a healthy shade tree extend far beyond a cool spot in the yard. A mature tree can increase your property value by a significant margin.

Planting for a Lifetime of Growth
To ensure your shade tree gets the best start, proper planting is crucial. We recommend digging a hole two to three times wider than the root ball to allow roots to spread. Water it deeply upon planting and maintain a consistent watering schedule through its first few seasons. A layer of quality mulch will help protect the roots and retain moisture for a healthy, happy tree.
