Setting down roots

Planting a tree is one of the nicest things you can do for your house and your neighborhood. It makes sound economic sense, too. Tree shade can reduce air conditioning costs by 15 to 50 percent. The windbreak that trees provide can shield houses from wind and snow, reducing heating costs by as much as 30 percent. Trees also increase property values, and they can provide colorful fall foliage and fond memories.
