Beautiful trees make a beautiful yard and home. When you need help caring for and choosing the trees in your yard, you can rely on Liscombe Tree Service in St. Charles, MO. Our team of expert arborists is passionate about the well-being of your trees.

We would like to recommend four trees you can consider planting in your Missouri yard:

• Flowering Dogwood: The flowering dogwood, or cornus florida, is a lovely addition to any yard. This tree prefers well-drained soil and can live in full sun or partial shade environments. It is a popular, white-flowering residential tree that attracts birds and butterflies.
• Red Cedar: The red cedar, or juniperus virginiana, is a deciduous, needled evergreen that is drought tolerant. This tree is native to Missouri and, sometimes, has even more vibrant foliage color during winter.
• Silver Maple: The silver maple, or acer saccharinum, is a low maintenance deciduous tree whose leaves have lovely silver toned undersides. It is a fast growing tree that is tolerant to changes in soil moisture levels. It can also thrive in both full sun and partial shade.  
• Crape Myrtle: The crape myrtle, or lagerstroemia acoma, is a beautiful, flowering deciduous shrub. These trees grow in Missouri but are not as weather resistant as some trees; it needs a bit of extra care and will typically grow to a smaller size. Frequent watering, thorough fall and winter mulching, and early spring pruning are all ways you can care for your crape myrtle in Missouri.
