I planted cottonless cottonwoods about 20 years ago. They are now 40
feet tall and still growing. Nary a cottonseed in all this time.

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
