Fast Growing Tree
Pinus radiata is popular in South Devon-75ft tall and 26 inches diameter in
23 years. Its worth having a look at a reference book on trees to see the ultimate height over the years and decide vs. your lifetime and its location whether the tree will be tolerable. We inherited a garden with growing native trees about 20 years old, and I regret that the previous owners did not give a lot of thought to the ultimate size of lime, beech, field maple and pinus sylvestris amongst the natives and imported cupressus leylandii and sycamore. I don't like having to cut trees down. "Robert E A Harvey" wrote in message om... (White) wrote in message om... Hi, Can anyone offer me a fast growing tree which can grow up in cold climate? Thank you very much I have a field maple (Acer campestre)that is starting to slow down. When it was younger it put on at least four feet per year, and has grown from a tall bush to a specimen tree in less than 15 years. It is home to a huge insect population in the summer, and the autumn colours are wonderful. If the lower branches are trimmed it soon adapts and restores it's basic shape higher up. It spreads well, and provides a lot of dappled shade to full shade. Only two snags: it hangs on for weeks before suddenly going golden all of a rush, and invariably the wind gets up the next day and strips it, so you have to be quick to enjoy the autumn colour. And there are then a LOT of leaves to clear up (makes good leaf litter though). http://www.ltl.org.uk/projects/trees/fieldmaple.html http://www.offwell.free-online.co.uk...field_maple.ht ml http://www.british-trees.com/guide/fieldmaple.htm I'd also suggest the Wild Service tree, Sorbus torminalis, but it does not grow as fast. It is a nice thing to look at though, big leaves. young Horse Chestnuts put on height fairly rapidly, but take some time to develop a good canopy. They slow down after about 10 years in some soils. |
