I have a rental where the previous owner loved trees. He lived there for over 40 years and planted many trees throughout his tenancy. The back yard hosts 2 apple trees, one pear tree, a small cherry tree, a small hawthorn tree, three large pine trees, a large spruce tree, 2 large (beautiful) maple trees and a smaller maple tree, a large walnut tree, a large horse chestnut tree, and a fairly big lilac bush. The large trees are all at least 50 ft tall and there is no pattern to how they are placed. They are scattered all over the backyard and it makes it look like a mini forest in the middle of a block in this small town. On the ground has many different flowers and plants that he also had planted.

The yard is very pretty and has grass and flowers on the ground amongst all of the trees. The reason for this post is to get opinions on what trees to cut and what trees to keep to boost curb appeal and the appraisal for a refinance. I can provide pictures and explanations of tree locations if needed. We plan to cut most of the trees down and to keep the two large maple trees. There will be stumps all over the yard if we cut the trees which adds to the dilemma. 

Any opinions are much appreciated. -Dillon
