REALTY REAL ESTATE REPORT FALL PLANTING Many people lost trees this summer from storms. Maybe you have time to replant now, an ideal time for tree planting. Choose deciduous trees for the east, south, and west sides of your home. In the summer, they will shade your home and when the leaves fall, the sun can come through in the winter. On the north and west sides, plant evergreens to act as a wind break. Add some low bushes to direct summer breezes toward your house. Well-planned landscaping can cut heating bills by one-third and air conditioning costs by 15-20%, depending on how tight the home is and how well it's insulated. Talk to local experts for tree recommendations and where to plant for maximum efficiency.
