"This looks good, I am looking for the largest evergreen tree for year round shade in my front yard. I am removing all the grass and for water conservation and want a big tree to offer shade especially in the summer. I have a south facing home I do have a Ficus next to the house that was here when I moved it, but it is planted too close to the house to offer shade except in a limited area and because it was planted so close to the house it has to be trimmed often. I love the Ficus but not the location."
