| What are correct trees to plant in South Fl., we have a 10 acre horse farm and need shade in turnouts. We lost over 250 pine trees in the last two years due to hurricanes and disease. Do not want Pine, what about Maple, Oak, Poinciana, Olive. Must be fast growing and safe for livestock. The Fla summer sun is without mercy and the storms take down trees with big canopy. |
