I have a Dogwood in my front yard, looks lovely in spring and isn’t too big. I believe they’re a native tree for NJ so big plus.

I second this! I love my eastern redbud in my front yard. Gorgeous in the spring with its red buds (hence the name).

I always liked a flowering pear tree.

Would recommend anyone reading this not to plant a flowering pear (Cleveland pear, Bradford pear, Callery Pear) - they are incredibly invasive and have poor wolf structure so are being banned in multiple states (but not NJ yet)

Thanks I wasn't aware. I just thought they were pretty when my parents had them decades ago.

Dogwoods look amazing for a 2 week span in April.

Japanese maples are beautiful and very popular around here too.

Palm trees would like nice

Hah! There's someone a few streets over from me who imports a huge palm tree from god knows where every spring, then it inevitably dies in the fall/winter, they tear it out, and the subsequent spring they haul a brand new one. Repeat, every... single... year. It's a bit extra.

None, because I do not like raking leaves.

I have a dwarf Japanese maple that’s about 15 ft In diameter and black elderberry and holly bush that I keep pruned back to the size of a fifth grade child. I used to have a silver maple volunteer that I kept pruned back as a topiary but had to cut it down because it was too much maintenance.
