We had them in front and back of our house (already there when we moved in). I thought they were nice when I first moved in but I soon hated those trees. VERY messy trees, constantly dropping branches so requires a lot of cleaning up twigs. Roots can go 20 feet or more. We eventually took them down. I would not recommend them.
