View full detailsThe Tulip Poplar and the Autumn Blaze Maple average 3 to 5 feet in a single year. The Northern Red Oak, October Glory Maple, River Birch, Red Sunset Maple, and Shumard Oak can grow about 3 feet per year.
Shade trees are generally easy to grow trees that need minimal if any maintenance once they are established. The best way to care for a shade tree is to keep it watered well for the first year, especially the first few months. Not only does this early time investment help your tree establish faster, it helps your tree’s roots grow. Deep roots mean a healthy, sturdy tree and can even help prevent those large surface roots down the road.
For more information, read our Shade Tree Care blog post.
The best shade trees are no maintenance, adaptable, fast-growing, and have great fall color. Maple trees, like the Autumn Blaze Maple, October Glory Maple, and Red Sunset Maple are excellent trees with phenomenal fall color. The Weeping Willow tree is an extremely fast-growing shade tree that tolerates wet sites. The Shumard Oak, the Northern Red Oak, and the Willow Oak are resilient, native oak trees that require no maintenance once established and have unsurpassed longevity.
