fastest growing trees?
HI HI- wrote: X-No-Archive: yes just curious as to what trees grow fastest? i love trees and want to plant them in my yard. only problem is i dont want to wait long for them to grow. i would get them big then plant them but i dont have a truck to get them to my house so i have t o buy small. what are some nice trees that grow fast? thanks for the input. Despite all the comments to the contrary, there are a number of perfectly acceptable and relatively long-lived trees which can put on growth at a pretty rapid rate, once established. Leyland cypress, Thuja 'Green Giant', liriodendron, paulownia, Lombary p oplar and various willows can all achieve 3 or more feet a year if given proper conditions. Various oak species, red and Norway maples, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, alder and sweet gums should grow a couple of feet a year. In tree growth, this is considered pretty darn fast. One doesn't have to wait forever for a eve n a young tree to reach a reasonable size if care is given to selection and growing conditions. pam - gardengal |
