Red Oak

Red oak is messy. They drop big trees and acorns during autumn. When you place the car underneath, acorns will fall from a high branch and it can put a tiny dent in your car.

Red oak will shed a lot of catkins, and small clusters of flowers that bear pollen. The catkins will trigger allergies, and if they collect inside your car, they can damage the electrical components of vehicles.

Therefore, you should not plant red oak in your garden.

Callery Pear

Callery pear has nice white flowers during spring and burgundy foliage in the fall. The truth is, the branching structure is weak, which causes all kinds of storm damage in areas that have winds, ice, or snow. In addition, Callery pear and the most cultivar ‘Bradford’ are invasive in a lot of states. You might think that this tree is harmless because it looks pretty, think again because it can be damaging to your backyard.

Chinese Flame Tree

The seed capsule of the Chinese Flame tree travels widely and sprouts everywhere – literally everywhere. In the fall and winter, the papery capsules will blow everywhere, bringing the seeds in contact with the soil. Each time this happens, every seed germinates. Let them all grow and in a couple of years, your whole yard will literally become a Chinese flame forest.

Hackleberry

People grow this shade of a tree when they cannot grow anything else. It involves heat, drought, air pollution, poor soil, and wind. That does not make it great for shading your house in the suburbs. Hackleberry is recognizable because of its silvery-gray bark encrusted with warty ridges. The small, blue-black fruits are loved by birds that spread seedlings all over the place. The worst thing about hackleberry is that the wooly aphids feed on the leaves drip out a sticky honeydew. The sooty mold grows on the honeydew, which blackens everything under the tree.

Eastern Cottonwood

You should skip planting trees unless you want to deal with the mess this produces. The cottonwood will produce a bounty of fluffy, cotton-like seeds that is going to stick to everything. This tree has a combination of the undesirable characteristic of roots: The root system is aggressive, pliant, and shallow, making the tree very unstable. It has a weak wood structure. Therefore, these factors causes the tree root to not be hardy enough to withstand exposure over the years to the elements, so any cottonwood you plant might not come down sooner instead of later.
