Hi,
What are the fastest growing trees in USDA Zone 5 (Amer. Horticultural Zone
8)?
I'm interested in both evergreens and broadleaves.

Thanks



Hi Bill,

You are further south, but we put in a bunch of hybrid poplars as 4'
whips in S.E. New Hampshire and they grew at an extraordinary rate. We
had researched the most rapid growth for our area.

They don't live more than about fifteen years, but I would certainly
use them again were we to need some rapid growth.

We got them from Burpee originally, but I believe that they no longer
offer such.

All the best,
