Trees

Cole

Ok here is my situation:

I am going to develop 15 acres for a new home development and I have to take out a line of trees on the west side of the property that I really like.

What is the fastest growing tree for my area?

You might want to look into a tree called the Royal Empress also sometimes called a Royal Paulownia. They can grow 10 feet in their first year and get up to 20 feet within just 3-4 years.

Cole,

I have NO clue if these things will live in Texas, but we got a Silver Dollar Gum tree
1.75 years ago. At that time it was in either a 3 or 5 gallon pot and
fit easily in the junker van we had at the time.

The tree is now as tall as a single story and is 3 inches at the base.

It is related to the Eucalyptus.

It gets over 100 here in the summer and on SOME days it can get below freezing in the winter.

I think we are in climate zone 8 or 9.

Check out these sites:

also check to see if your state has a forestry extension service, up here in Vermont the state has its own tree farm that you can buy trees at a real cheap price. I have done it before and got some real nice trees.

Empress tree is a great choice...Empress Tree's will settle at a height of 30 to 50 feet and a width of 20 to 30 feet. To reduce the potential height of your tree, trim the top of the tree to slow its growth.
