| Need some shade around my driveway. Had a bradford pear there before but the wind took it out so I'm looking to replace it. I liked the bradford, but it didn't provide much of a canopy, and obviously didn't get along with the Texas wind very well. I would like something fast growing (I'm 61, so fast becomes a priority, LOL). And something that would provide a nice canopy without dropping sap on my vehicles. Do you know of something better than the bradford? Thanks |
| James, I would suggest the following to fit that set of specifications: Drake Elm (Chinese elm) Texas Red Oak Monterrey Oak After planting keep the soil moist and fertilize with a turf type fertilizer several times per year in spring and summer. See the following web site for more help: http://aggie-horticulture.tamu... Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon! |
