Flowers, Healthy Looking, - in summer 2. Beautiful Fall color & fruit effects 3. Have symmetrical shape or form

8 Factors of selecting plants 1. Appearance 2. Function 3. Cold Tolerance 4. Heat Tolerance 5. Messiness 6. Life Expectancy & Growth Rate 7. Pest Resistance 8. Physiological Factors - Soil types ? pH
