* particularly beneficial for wildlife (squirrels, birds, caterpillars, etc.) * generally have a nice form/structure that is attractive year round * long-lived, durable, majestic, inspiring, span generations * tons of species/varieties/flexibility within the genus for fast growth that I don't hear much about being weak wooded include red oak group, maybe red maple, tulip poplar, sycamore, dawn redwood, lacebark elm.I am guilty of over-promoting oaks.
What do you consider messy? If acorns are a big deal to you, that would write off the oaks, which is sad, since that might be a good option otherwise.įorget anybody climbing it but the grandkids, if your kids are little now. I'd forget underused you're trying for enough criteria that you can't be too picky. So even if a species does something, maybe there's a cultivar that does not. So not fast growing.Īs for spiky, be mindful of cultivars that may avoid the product - Rotundiloba in Sweetgum, some Honey Locust, etc. I think somebody on here once posted of one growing about 18 inches/year, for whatever that anecdote is worth. I've read that Ginkgo may take 2 or 3 years to sit there, adjusting to transplant, and then start growing at a moderate rate. A large single pond sheet covers the entire pond 15'x8.5'x3' and attached bog areas. Bogs are both in stand alone installations as above and shallow shelves dug into the pond margins. Canna, Cardinal Flower planted in prepared bog areas in this yard. Connecting Canna and Japanese Iris bog area area just after installation in late fall. Final area leaves 11'+ for plant expansion, which will be tight. It takes 30 min to soak excess water through. Baby 5' Gunnera tinctoria just planted and watered. Bottom 3.5' of the pit was lined with plastic and water connection through the compost ammended soil connect with canna (non plastic lined) and Japanese Iris (plastic lined below 10'). Before After 8' wide by 4.5' deep bog pit being readied to support Giant Chilean Gunnera. They sort of work like in ground planters. Pit size is based on final, not initial plant size. You are not going to like doing this, but I dig to 2 or 3' deep and make pits to hold more moisture. I dig with an iron rod and then shovel and screen the larger rock and gravel out. I love the gingko trees but it seems like it's a slow grower? I'm confused because some sites say it has moderate or medium growth rate. The Utah tree planting site recommends these: native/beneficial to the environment would be awesomeĬan you please give me some ideas of what trees I should consider? Temps are about 100 here now so I will probably keep it in a container until Fall and then plant it. fast growing! we are in desperate need of shade! I would love a tree with these traits (in order of priority): We have drip irrigation and sprinklers coming soon. The tree will go in a southwest corner against the fence and hopefully shade a trampoline or sitting area under it. The house has no permanent plantings yet, just my veggie garden. I live in zone 7a in Utah and I need to plant a tree for shade.
