I would like to plant a tree that is fast growing but not so brittle like a silver maple. Can you suggest something? Most trees that grow fast (Tulip Poplars, Silver Maples) are going to be softer & weaker trees. From a hardwood standpoint (long lasting tree & relatively quick to grow) would be a Pin Oak. The Pin Oak is probably the fastest growing and lowest maint. hardwood tree. Perhaps consider too a medium growth tree like an Ash variety or a Harder Maple like the Red Sunset or Autum Baze Maple. Go to a local nursery where the staff is actually qualifed to help direct you on this tree selection as well. You will need to consider light, water & how close to the house as well (you said you were seeking shade to a bedroom I believe). Hope this helps. |
