Wise gardeners take a long-term approach to planting. Those that seek short-term solutions often come up short. Need shade in a treeless yard? Do you choose a tree known for its quick growth but short life or one that grows more slowly and will outlive your children? The best choice is the slower-growing, quality tree.
Need to fill an empty flowerbed? Resist the urge to pack it full, remembering that most plants grow quickly. If they're too crowded, they'll compete for food, water, and sunlight, making them more prone to insect and disease problems. A shrub or small tree you plant close to your home may look fine now, but in three years it may need constant trimming to stay manageable.
Train yourself to plant with a vision of how things will look in five years. You'll save yourself money (small plants cost less and grow fast), time, and frustration in the long run.
