If not increased value of trees, whatever you do to increasing curb appeal to your property adds even more value to your property. If you don't plan on being on the property for awhile, it might make sense to do whats sustainable on the property during your absense...check out the topic earlier about about what to grow on vacant land. Landscaping features like trees and shrubs in the right areas do more to accentuating properties....I would also plant alot more palms in orchid land, they can fend for themselves and add more visual interest to whats typical in the vacant properties around the subdivision, its nice to add a variety of different palms. I love the big monkeypod trees on my property, that is a beautiful trees and adds alot of shade factor. I think trees that also add seasonal color add more value and appeal to any property ie, shower trees, jacaranda, yellow cassias, tulip trees, poiciana, plumeria....although some of these trees might need a head start before they can fend for themselves unattended.
