I am defining "tree" as something with at least the potential to achieve a decent size, and the potential with proper training to grow in a tree-like form. I am excluding things that are exclusively "shrubs" such as forsythia, common lilac, etc.

So far, I'm up to 111 species (not varieties/cultivars) on my property. This was done from memory, so I need to check my list against the real world when time allows.
