Big trees that grow fast?
Posted on 12/11/13 at 8:43 am

Bought a house and am moving to Mandeville next week and want to plant some trees.
I'd love some live oaks, but I also want to live to see the trees get big.
Anyone have any recommendations for trees that will grow fairly quickly and get pretty large?

You can buy some decent sized oaks. Pine grows fast...

River Birches grow pretty fast. My neighbor has one he planted right before I bought my house five years ago and that thing has quadrupled in size.

A pine will get decent size in about 15 years. Also. Elm

All kinds of tree info here. Planting zones, proximity to structures, growth rates, etc. And 10 free trees if you join (they are only seedlings).

Definitely grow fast and get big quick, but get ready for it to look like it snowed when their seeds fall.

Water oak get big quick but downside they lose their leaves in winter. I would think i 10 years give or take they would get 30+ feet tall.

Sawtooth Oaks grow much more rapidly than most other oaks. The produce acorns at literally about 5-7 years. The only thing I don't like about them is their leaves die in the winter, but don't fall off until spring when new leaves sprout.

White Oak, Nutall Oak, Shumard Oak, Sycamore

Great trees, especially if you like constantly picking up tiny twigs.

The nature of fast growing trees is that they produce litter/twig/branch drop.

Anybody who plants pine trees in their yard must be retard. They snap like toothpicks in wind and their pinecones will destroy a lawnmower blade
