Every person who bought a country plot wants to make it green and as soon as possible. But in order to normal seedlings become full-fledged trees will have to wait about ten years. To accelerate the planting of greenery can help planted fast-growing trees and shrubs. Such trees, which in comparison with others grow rapidly, can be safely purchased in the market or even dig in the forest.
But novice gardeners often do not know the breeds of fast-growing trees, suitable for creating a full-fledged garden in just a few seasons, so in this article we will consider just such types of plants.
Features of fast-growing trees
Despite their promising names, such plants, though growing faster than others, but do not grow immediately in the first year to the size of an adult tree. In the first year after planting, they get used to their new habitat, so they practically do not grow. But since the second year, they are already beginning to grow in full force (up to 1 meter per year, depending on the species). But you can not plant a plot with a large number of such trees, since they will only interfere with the growth of each other, because with a rapid growth rate up the diameter of their crown becomes almost 80 cm.
Trees are divided according to the growth rate in height by:
- Very fast-growing - the growth for the year is from 1 m and more.
- Fast-growing - annual increase - from 50 cm to 1 m.
Also there is a classification by the type of leaves (coniferous and deciduous) and by design (ornamental and fruit).
Coniferous fast-growing trees:
- European and Siberian larch;
- spruce fir;
- Scots pine and Weymutova;
- fir single-color;
- false wood or pseudo-wood.
Deciduous fast-growing trees:
- varieties of ash - ordinary, green, Pennsylvania;
- Walnut;
- mulberry white and black;
- catalpa;
- Rowan;
- maklyura;
- tulip tree ;
- elm small-leaved;
- red (northern) oak;
- poplar;
- sycamore;
- white acacia;
- willow: weeping, brittle, goat, white;
- The birch is dandy and fluffy.
Decorative fast-growing trees
- Willow: weeping, brittle, goat, white. Their crown, in the form of a fluffy green ball, rapidly grows foliage and new shoots, while not losing its airiness.
- White acacia. You can plant both one and the bouquet, 3-5 pieces per large pit. For planting it is better to choose seedlings of domestic selection, since others in our climate are less resistant.
- Red oak. It grows very quickly, but it can be transplanted only 7-10 years old.
- Poplar. One of the record growth rates in landscape design is used to build a clear vertical, thanks to its very even trunk.
- Fir one-color. To create an interesting landscape, often use its clear conical shape of the crown, which is well preserved in the young age of the tree, but with age it becomes wide and pyramidal, and the branches fall lower.
Fruit fast-growing trees
Fruit trees grow much more slowly than just ornamental plants because they need a lot of energy to fructify, which is not compatible with rapid growth.
- The mulberry is white and black. There are mulberry with a spherical, pyramidal and weeping crown shape, which are often used in creating landscapes.
- Walnut is Greek. Usually for the first year of life it grows up to 30-50 cm in height, in the second year - up to 1 meter, and at 6 years it is already 2.5 meters, begins to bear fruit already for 4-5 years of growth.
Having told which trees grow fast enough, we wish you good luck in growing your garden quickly.
