Which Species To Use<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The top recommended species of tree to use to make your house appear wider and bigger is a flowering dogwood. Suggested species include the common flowering dogwood, and the Korean (Kousa) Dogwood. Cornus<\/em> is a genus of about 30\u201360 species of woody plants in the family Cornaceae<\/em> that are suitable for U.S. hardiness zones 5 through 9. They are medium height trees with wide canopies, which are the key features to look for in a tree for this project. Their average mature height is between 15 and 30 feet, with an average canopy width up to 30 feet or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Plant Them<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you are trying to make your house look wider, the best spot to plant a Dogwood tree is on each side, in the corner. Choose an area that receives partial shade, as too much sun exposure can jeopardize the tree\u2019s ability to retain sufficient levels of water. Northern and eastern-facing corners that get good morning sun and afternoon shade are perfect spots for a flowering dogwood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not have a spot that provides these conditions, you can choose a south or west-facing spot that gets shad in the afternoon by adjacent trees or structures. When you choose your spot, be sure there is still ample space between the house and the tree. This will give the tree enough room to bloom, without jeopardizing the structural integrity of the siding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
