I would like to plant a tree that doesn't drop a lot of stuff, is fast growing and will provide shade, with minimal water. What could you recommend for my area? |
I'd say you have some very particular requirements for your tree, but there are several that fit within the criteria. Sweet Acacia fits the bill. Fruitless mulberry is a fast-growing, wide spreading tree. (The female, or fruit-bearing species can make quite a mess!) Catalpa grows fast and makes an excellent shade tree. If you're looking for fall color, Sweet Gum, sometimes called Liquidambar, would be a good choice as well. Hope at least one of the above suggestions appeals to you! |
