2 Baby trees needing new home

[Daffy D]

From time to time some one here will ask advice what trees to plant that will grow fast and give good shade.

I have always favored the "Indian Almond" which does both of those things and is also easy to manage. The trees grow about 1 meter per year and if you trim off the lower branches as it grows it will give a nice clean trunk up to whatever height you want to sit under or park the car.

If you don't want the tree too grow too tall just lob of the top at the desired height and it will spread out giving a great area of shade. It is a nice "clean" tree with big leaves that are easy to sweep up and keep tidy.

Months ago while out and about I collected some fallen seeds of this tree and planted them in buckets and have planted out 3 of them round the house. Unfortunately I don't have room for the remaining 2 trees and as I don't want to just throw them thought I'd post here to see if anyone would want them.

The 2 trees are just over 1 meter tall now and struggling in their buckets, they really need to be planted out soon. Their brothers/sisters that I planted out some months ago are almost twice the height and bushing out nicely.

So if anyone would like a couple of free baby trees please let me know. We are located about 100 klicks North of Bangkok so if you live within reasonable driving distance of the Saraburi area I will be happy to deliver, or if further away could arrange to meet at some half way point.
