re: Fast growing shade trees

Why was the lot cleared? I wish builders would leave trees on new homesites. But, i digress.
To answer the OP, give us some info. What size lot? What side of the house are you wanting to plant? How close to the house? Are you looking to block views of neighbors?
In general, maples grow faster than most oaks, but in the long run oaks will grow taller. One fast growing oak not mentioned yet is a sawtooth oak. Also a pin oak.
General poor decisions are the Bradford pear, ash (not too good for the South), river birches (if you're looking for dense shade).
