Ten Top Trees That Grow Fast

There are many benefits for planting trees that grow fast. Some of the top reasons are to provide shade, color, vertical dimension, soundproofing, cooling, beauty, screening, windbreaks, boundary lines and wildlife habitats for birds, animals, and insects. Planting fast growing trees also will increase your property value by at least 20%. Home buyers almost always choose a house with trees over those that don't, all things being equal. It's amazing that just by placing a tree in the correct area such as on the western or southwestern exposure of your house, you can significantly reduce your cooling cost in the summer by 10 -15% or more. Who wouldn't like that? Trees can also reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions which is helpful in urban areas and they provide protection from ultra violet rays on playgrounds, schoolyards, and picnic areas. Let's face it, we all prefer having trees around if at all possible.

Many home owners want to know what type of fast growing tree they should plant. The answer depends on factors such as: your purpose for planting the tree, soil conditions, tree location (plant the right tree in the right place), species growth and form (give trees plenty of room to grow), and know any undesirable species traits like tree roots that may grow on top of the ground.

The following trees are especially good for the Mid South and are some of our favorites. Landscaping in the area for over 27 years has given us a great insight into which trees are best for this area. Your local extension agency will have a list for your area. Before you plant any of the following trees, be sure you know how big and wide they will grow so that you can put them in the right place in your yard.

Autumn Blaze Maple is one of our favorites and the fastest growing maple. It's resistant to insects and disease, has award winning foliage, and great fall color.

Thuja Green Giant grows 3-5 feet each year, grows tall but takes up little room, and is disease resistant.

Royal Empress Tree grows up to 12 feet a year, has dense foliage, fragrant blooms, and is easy to grow.

Arapaho Crape Myrtle has bright red color, blooms spring to fall, very disease resistant, and grows well in tight spots.

Nelle Stevens Holly will give you year round privacy, is fast growing, grows almost anywhere, and is easy to maintain.

Tulip Poplar has gorgeous yellow fall foliage, grows up to 6 feet. a year, full yellow blooms in the spring, hard to beat for shade.

Lombardy Poplar grows up to 6 feet a year, easy to grow, great for windbreaks, fast growing for privacy.

Cryptomeria has soft feathery foliage which is great in arrangements, grows in any soil, easy to grow, and has a unique shape.

Kwanzan Cherry has vibrant pink blooms in spring and grows almost anywhere.

Autumn Cherry blooms in the spring and fall, has elegant White Flowers, hugh double blooms, and is very adaptable.

These trees will grow fast if not planted too close to the house. Be sure you know how tall and full they will get before you place them. You may want to talk to a local nurseryman about your selection and you may want to ask him if there are any problems with these trees in your area. Water and fertilize them for the first 5 years until they are well established and you will be rewarded with a great fast growing trees.

Economical And Drought Proof Landscaping Ideas

At times the best method to reinvent a current landscaping design is the least complicated. Landscaping ideas do not have to become difficult or costly. Following may be couple of strategies to simply revise your own landscaping, cut costs and turn into a water conservationist.

 

All of us desire to help conserve our treasured natural resources and there is absolutely nothing far more valuable than water. One of the most effective water conserving landscaping ideas is to switch the lawn with drought-tolerant plants. You will find various kinds of drought resistant grasses for instance deer grass, pedilanthus and euphorbia to name a few.

 

To include color and contrast, plant at least one Cordyline "Festival Grass." It is a beautiful plant that will probably develop to three feet tall and wide. Their leaves can be a dark red-burgundy in color and it enjoys total sun. Lavender happens to be an evergreen plant that yields blooms that will be a rich violet-blue color. Additionally they prefer the sun's rays and are generally drought resistant as well.

 

To save money leave lots of of space around the plants so that as they develop they will spread. You will not have a need to purchase and plant a lot plants.

 

Landscaping ideas which conserve water have become a necessity because of several county and city ordinances which may have been introduced within the last few years. By getting rid of some of the present dirt you can create a sunken garden. It will permit rainfall to be accumulated and irrigate your plants at the same time for free.

 

A handful of sensible landscape designs can include attractive paths pointing visitors around the yard. In order to save money on materials it is easy to choose very common and relatively affordable products like concrete and river rock. Make large concrete pavers and add river rock or gravel in between. The rocks offer the walkway an all-natural look as it meanders all the way through the landscape.

 

To add a little shade without the need of requiring the added cost and care of a permanent structure give some thought to planting a couple of trees. Landscaping ideas that may include trees not simply increase natural beauty and attraction but in addition soften and shade the yard. Choose shapely trees having open, airy canopies.

 

If you'd like to add a little bit of color to your beds Yarrow is really a nice selection. This particular drought tolerant plant possesses feathery silver-green leaves and is a a prolific bloom producer for summer garden borders. They are able to mature to two feet tall with attractive pink foliage.
