what trees to plant in the woods #928098

Asked April 11, 2026, 3:38 PM EDT

Our suburban home lot is partly wooded. As trees age and die there are thinning areas--not as woody. Is there a good tree to plan to replenish the wooded area ?

Washington County Minnesota

Expert Response

For large trees, look for red pin or bur oak, sugar maple, linden, ironwood or hackberry.  Shrubs could include serviceberry or elderberry.  To learn more data on selecting and planting trees, see https://extension.umn.edu/find-plants/trees-and-shrubs
