The correct answer to getting the fastest shade tree is a Royal empress or Paulownia tomentosa
Should grow to 30 feet in 3 years. Big leaves. Fragrant purple flowers
It's like a Chinese tallow tree in that it's invasive with it's seed droppings. But cutting ur grass ends that concern
Buy the plant via eBay, I wouldn't fool with the seeds. A guy from Mississippi used to sell them on eBay. I think his name was sawmill

Vette, clump Bambo is awesome and fast growing for privacy.

Try sweet gum (tall), sycamore or swamp red maple, crepe myrtle (smaller but kind of quick), cypress, or live oak (slower but worth it). Also something called carrot wood in FL; you might be too far north for that to grow.

Agree.
I have some of that in the back.
That's the non-invasive one, correct?
