I'm hoping to plant a tree in my front yard and would love some unique recommendations beyond the typical options. I have a snow gum eucalyptus in my back garden that's thriving, so the soil isn't absolutely terrible—it's just predominantly clay, which is quite heavy. Any ideas for trees that are friendly to bats and bees?

For bat-friendly trees, you’ll want something that grows tall. Adding a bat box up high can also help attract them, but keep in mind that it’ll take a while for any tree to mature enough for that. For bee-friendly options, consider flowering shrubs or maybe something like an apple tree, which blooms beautifully.
