Need fast growing tree species: I need to plant trees that will grow 10 meters w/in 2 yrs.

[GammaGlobulin]

Dear Folks,

 

I have a lawn that needs some shade from tall trees.

 

If I were younger, then almost any old tree might do.

 

However, at my present age, I realize that if I plant an average tree, any old tree, most will not grow tall enough before I am underground moldering, just food for the trees, myself.

 

This is why I need to go out and plant some seedlings which will grow super fast, with proper care and fertilizer.

 

What might be the best and fastest growing tree I could plant, for the Chiang Mai climate?

 

Any ideas?

 

I would plant fruit trees if I were ten years younger, of course.

 

But, I let this project go...for too long, now....and now I am almost out of time.

 

I know that there must be super-fast-growing trees, what will all the new genetic-engineering of things like corn, for example.

 

So then, in terms of trees, are there any newly created GMO-trees that will grow about three times faster than natural trees?

 

I am NOT interested in anything NATURAL, if natural means growing slow.

 

I do not intend to EAT the trees, so GMO-trees seems right for me...if...

They will just grow....SUPER-Fast.

 

I do not intend to start from seeds.

 

I will buy some saplings, or what do you call them.....

Not saplings.

 

I meant seedlings.....

 

Thanks for any advised advice.

 

Best,

 

Gamma

 

NOTE4:  I did not mean to say that I would not also be willing to buy saplings, rather than just seedlings.  But, with such a fast growing tree species, I figure that seedlings might be cheaper than saplings, and still reach about the same height within approximately the same period of time.... 18 months to two years.

Try giant bamboo. It’s a grass. Just add water and fertilizer.

I am cutting back and pruning all my trees as they have gotten too thick and my front lawn  is not getting enough sun, thus parts are thinning and dying. If you love a green grassy lawn dont put too many trees in. This is the lawn 4 months ago, but now the trees have caused it to thin in places.

Eucalyptus. Easily found. Very affordable. Smell nice too.

I've seen lorries trundling around with fully grown trees on the back, their roots wrapped in plastic. Instant shade!

That is a piece of beautiful landscaping.

 

Congrats!!!!

How fast could it possibly grow...in CM environment, if given Tinder loving care?

Tamarind tree grow fast. Small leaves though.

Folks here planted one 1,5 m high , 5 months ago , now 4 meter high.

And you get some fruit.

Will keep in mind!

Cannabis is a weed that grows very fast and easily. Lots of places sell ones that have already sprouted and just need to be replanted. In 8 weeks your whole garden will be covered. Thank me later.
