What’s The Best Shade Trees For Missouri?

What’s The best shade trees for Missouri?

Red Maple is the top tree for many reasons. They transplant well giving you the best chance for transplant survival, they get large as in 40 to 60’ but not so large like Oaks that they over take an area, have great and varied fall color, handle stress of heat drought and excessive water better than most others.
