If you are wanting to quickly transform your landscape, add shade, and create a sense of privacy, fast growing trees may be the solution. Today let’s explore the different fast-growing trees and why you need them in your garden.  

All About Trees That Grow Fast

Many trees take a long time to grow, spread, and mature. For those of us who want to dramatically change our landscape, carefully selecting fast growing trees can save us a lot of time.

Fast-growing trees can gain considerable height and maturity within just 20 to 30 years. On average, fast-growing trees can see an increase of 2 to 10 feet in height annually. This means they can add considerable beauty and charm to your garden very quickly.

Keep in mind that some fast-growing trees may not be as structurally sound as their slower-growing neighbors. Limbs and branches may break off during storms. They may also need to be trimmed or pruned more often. For this reason, it may be a good idea to plant fast-growing trees away from your home, valuable structures, and utility lines.

Things to Consider Before Buying Your Fast-Growing Tree:

Know Your USDA Hardiness Zone

Trees can be expensive, and you want to make sure the tree you are buying will thrive in your location. Be sure to review the growing zones for a tree before planting. Even the fastest growing trees will struggle if they are outside of their prefered environment.

Check Your Soil Type

You will want to make sure you pick trees that are well adapted to the soil type in your yard. You may also want to research the kinds of fertilizers and/or soil amendments that are beneficial to use.

Measure How Much Space You Have

Some trees can grow to be very large, very quickly. Research how wide a tree will grow at full maturity, then make sure you have ample room for the type of tree you are planting.

Consider the Maintenance Level

When choosing the right tree or hedge, you will want to take the required maintenance into consideration. Low maintenance fast growing shade trees like Pecans, Oaks, and Maples are great options! 

Determine If You Want A Fruit Bearing Tree

Some fast growing trees will also bear fruit as they mature. This can be a welcome addition for some folks, but if you have no intention of enjoying the fruit, then they may become more of a hassle then they are worth. 

Consider The Nearby Wildlife

A fast growing tree can have a considerable effect on adjacent plants and wandering animals. Some of our Cypress Trees and a few varieties of spruce are deer resistant. Decide if you want to prevent wildlife from crossing your property or if you enjoy watching from your home.
