I’ve always planted trees in my yard to create different heights from my shrubs and low-growing plants. Apart from the aesthetic and structural appeal, they can perform many functions, including being a nesting spot for birds.
However, a few good years back, I made a big mistake and planted an invasive eucalyptus tree at the back of my yard, and within a few years, it had taken over, absorbing all the nutrients my other plants craved.
