Hello, I have recently purchased a home in central Florida on one and a quarter acres. It is filled with pine trees and palms of all sizes and conditions. The pines and palms make a huge mess of the property and the constantly falling small branches from the pines and the massive fronds of the palms make for a neverending job of yard cleanup. I am going to be removing alot of the pines and relocating the palms. I have always wanted to have a yard filled with flowering trees, especially Royal Poinciana, Blue Jacaranda, and one of the yellow "golden rain tree" types, either Tipu or Cassia. I was also interested in a silk floss tree as well. I want to insure a good start for the new trees. Are any of these species especially difficult? Are there any things that i can do the soil well in advance of planting that you would recommend?
P.S. I was also interested in the empress pauwlonia but a friend of mine said they are impossible to control, yet a neighbor has one about 20ft or so and its a really nice looking tree and i didnt see any little pauwlonia's springing up around it. Any thoughts?
