Do you know what the height and spread of these trees are?  I lost a tree in my front yard that I want to replace, but I need to be keen on height and spread because of the power lines in front of the house.  I have a white birch on one side, which should never be a problem with the lines, but the dead tree with a hummingbird feeder in it is starting to drop larger branches.

They say 60-80 feet tall when mature.  I've planted a dozen(ish) between my yard and the clear cuts on Sparta MT WMA, they are all thriving, and they are around 12' after 3 years.  

[Haskell_Hunter]

I'm okay with the height, is the spread 12' or the current height of your mast?  I think I can do a 20'-25' spread before I have to start worrying about the town coming around and shaping my trees for me.

 

I have two black walnuts and a bunch of American Hazelnuts on the property right now.  People do say I'm a bit nuts, so this would just add to that.

You need at least two for pollenation.

3,5,7 Gallon trees shipped bulk, direct.

Group buy???

[Haskell_Hunter]

I could throw another one in the back yard.  I've got a few trees going on a small piece of property, but I'll be dead by the time it gets to be too much.  

 

I'd take some of the 7-gallon ones.  They seem to do better.

 

Is this a fall or spring order?

They say the spread is 30-40 feet at maturity.

On a cold winters day  I like roasted chestnuts and a glass of red wine.....

I will be in the front of my house with a tape measure and a kid this evening.

By the time it reaches maturity we'll all be pushing up daisies, so don't sweat it.

I'd say something but I think you're younger than me.

There is no IT in history.
