What is a good tree to plant in front of a red brick house?

Question

We moved into a house that is red brick with white garage/trim. They planted a small Japanese Maple in front which looks terrible because of the clash of the deep red leaves and the red brick.

I was thinking of replacing it with something that won't grow too large but that had green and white as the primary colours. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Answer 2

whatever you buy don't plant too near your house as the roots can damage the foundations.

Mock orange bushes have white flowers and come in three different sizes with a wonderful scent to them. Also, a white flocks would be nice. I have a red house and have both of these plants out front.
