My concern when selecting a tree is the root structure and whether it will be near a fence or wall. For example, a maple tree would provide shade, but the roots on mature trees are wide spread and on the surface. This would result in damage to a fence or wall near it. You would not want to be responsible for damage to a common wall. Something to keep in mind!
