No, squirrels and raccoons prefer hardwoods like maple or oak. They'll also build nests in attics, under roof tops and anywhere that's high enough off the ground and has enough space for building a nest to keep their babies warm and dry.

Yes they do, we have about 8 aborvitae and they'll always have nests in 3 or so. I think the key is feet above ground as they like to be about 20 feet up so smaller trees are not likely to have nests
