Looking for a quick-growing tree

Here are some fast-growing species to consider Many trees can take a while to establish themselves, so if you’re impatient, need an area to look beautiful in a hurry, want some fast-growing privacy trees, or are creating a garden from scratch, you may want to choose one or two fast-growing trees. Remember that most fast-growing trees will reach a considerable size, so make sure you have plenty of room for them to grow, and don’t plant them too close to a border or house. Some of the larger trees may have more compact cultivars available if you have limited space. Others can be grown as a hedge, which is a good option if you need to create a border. 1. Rowan The fast-growing rowan or mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia) is a British native that grows well in a variety of soils. It has beautiful, feathery leaves that turn yellow in autumn. The clusters of white flowers give way to berries, which are popular with birds, making it a great choice for a wildlife garden. 2. Silver Bir...

How and what to plant under a tree

what to plant under a tree You are not stupid enough to want to set up a garden under a mature tree. It is natural for a gardener to close his eyes and turn the hard earth, rare weeds, and bud roots into a shady corner with hostas, astilps, and jack-in-the-pulpits. Nature is good when it comes to gardening. As with many endeavors, there is a right and wrong way to set up a garden under a tree. My training as a professional horticulturist has taught me that when planting under mature trees care is needed not to damage their roots. I also know that the plants I choose have to deal with dry soil, shade, root competition, and ever-changing humidity and light conditions. Look for plants that work well with dry shade. Even if you are not a horticulturist, knowing the root system and cultural needs of the tree will allow you to create a garden with new plants and trees. See Tips for Planting. Meet the needs of your tree first Not all trees are created equal. Each one needs specifi...

WHY PLANT TREES IN FALL

 Learn why fall is the best time to plant trees Why do plant trees fall? Perhaps most importantly, autumn planting allows a tree a lot of time to establish its root system before winter. The roots begin to grow as soon as they touch the moist earth and continue to grow until the soil temperature is above 40 F (4 ° C). Then, when the first warm breath of spring finally coordinates the growth of new shoots, the autumn-planted tree is in place, with its roots already growing in the soil. More suitable for digging the soil in the fall than in the spring. In the fall, the heat of summer is enough to keep the soil moist, without dust, and crumbles most of the time - the perfect condition for digging planting holes. In addition, if you are in an area with high snowfall, you do not have to deal with all the frost (or resulting mud) if you plant in the fall. Buying a tree When buying trees for your location, you have some different options depending on what type of nursery tree ...
