I have a 20'x40' inground concrete pool with 10'-15' of Bermuda grass between the pool deck and a natural area. The natural area has dried leaves and pine straw (typical for the Raleigh area) and lots of trees. Because of the tree droppings (whirlybirds, spiney balls, hickory nuts), we are removing all the maple, sweet gum, and hickory trees. We are leaving a few big pines and several white and red oaks, but these are further back in the natural area, away from the grassy area and the pool. Once the bad trees are gone, we'd like to plant some pool-friendly trees for shade and aesthetics. Which brings me to my question: what ARE pool-friendly trees? Color would be nice, but of primary importance is NO droppings other than leaves in the fall (by then we should have the winter cover on, so leaves aren't much of a concern). I think I'm in Zone 7 in the Raleigh, NC area. Thanks in advance.
