In this CBS DFW Channel 21 interview, Brian Cox from Davey's Dallas office shares advice on choosing the best location when planting trees. 

(CBSDFW.COM) – Planting a tree is quite a commitment. Many trees live well past 100 years and some easily get to 200 years old, growing the entire time. If you make a mistake on placement it is a mistake that will long outlive you. On the flip side, you plant the right tree in the right place and you have a legacy.

This week’s Gardening 101 only begins to scratch the surface on all the factors to weigh when you are selecting a tree for a specific place. A great place to start is this great website run by Texas A&M that helps on tree selection.
