What's the fastest growing shade tree that would reach 30'-40' in the shortest amount of time?

Green Ash grow pretty fast.
A Drake Elm won't get that big as quick but can provide a decent amount of shade pretty quickly also.

Sawtooth oak grows fast as hell. No idea if it's considered a shade tree.

cotton wood, yellow poplar, sycamore for fast growing.

sawtooth oaks, planted 3 saplings 10-12 years ago, they are 25-30' now and providing good shade to west side of house...

The Emerald Ash borer is decimating the Ash population.

The answer is river birch.

River birch grows really fast. But is it considered a shade tree? Tulip poplar grows fast also, but is it a shade tree?

I have a three year old river birch that's 20 ft tall and another one that's probably 2 years old that's has grown 5 feet this year already my vote is river birch.. They like sandy soil

This is the correct answer.
