Planting a tree

I have planted three trees in my yard (two in the front, one in the back) I plan to plant at least one more this year. Our soil is very bad here, so it takes a good, strong tree to survive. Any ideas on what kind I should get?

Hi, I am among those people who get upset bout global warming. I would do a simple thing, planted every fruits that we have eat. Not only at the backyard, but in area that does not have many trees. Slowly but sure, they will grow bigger and bigger every day, I think that we could reducing global warming with it. Do as we could to make green environment

I have not exacly planted a tree. Yet, I am very found of planting plants in my small home. I go for potted plants and try making the enviornment cleaner.

Absolutely. When I was younger and in elementary school, I think it was every earth day every kid would be sent home with a tiny pine tree to plant. One year we actually used one of the trees that I planted for the christmas tree. I guess that kinda defeats the whole purpose of planting trees though. But it is neat to see how much it had grown over the years.
