See my earlier post under "parkway tree" where I suggested a Dawn
Redwood. They grow very fast, can reach 80 ft, are rugged, and in my
opinion, one of the nicest trees.

I'm probably looking for too much in this request.....any thoughts?

I need a tree that grows fast, and tall, and is very strong due to high wind
area. I am looking at a Sugar Maple (Acer Saccharum). White Poplar's
(Populus Alba) grow really fast, and can bring some real good shade in just
a few years. However, it seems like I see about 1 out or 8 or so that don't
make it past 40 feet high before they die off. I also fear they won't hold
up in the wind.

Thanks
