Top 13 Fastest Growing Trees – FastGrowingTrees.com

Whether you've just moved into your home or have spent many years making it your own, there's one area that deserves special attention: your landscape and its trees. Trees present a unique opportunity to personalize your home, but the decades they can take to fully mature can be frustrating.

Luckily, there are plenty of fast-growing trees that can thrive in multiple plant hardiness growing zones.

The Thuja Green Giant is an evergreen tree that can grow in Zones 5 to 9 at a rate of 3 to 5 feet per year. After three years it can reach 15 to 20 feet and, at its mature height, it stands at 30 to 40 feet fall. The Thuja Green Giant Tree is not only fast-growing but also incredibly resilient. It is drought tolerant, disease and insect resistant, and very adaptable. It grows in a uniform shape and height without having to be pruned or sheared, making it a low-maintenance and popular option for homeowners.

The Leyland Cypress Tree is the fastest-growing privacy tree and used in horticulture to form screens from the neighbors yards. It grows in Zones 6 to 10 at a rate of about 3 to 4 feet per year. Like the Thuja Green Giant, it reaches about 15 to 20 feet after three years, but is much taller at its mature height, measuring 40 to 60 feet. The Leyland Cypress is easily pruned and has aesthetically pleasing foliage that's soft to the touch. They grow quickly in a variety of soil types, so it doesn’t take much yard prep to reap the benefits of the Leyland Cypress's privacy and fast growth.

A hybrid blend of the Silver Maple and red maple, the Autumn Blaze Red Maple Tree isn't found naturally growing wild but can be purchased and grown in Zones 3 to 8. It grows 3 to 5 feet per year and can reach 15 to 20 feet within three years. Once it reaches maturity it's typically between 40 and 50 feet. As a dense branching shade tree, it can be relied upon for cool shade in the summer and astonishingly vibrant color in the fall.

The Weeping Willow is a hybrid of the Peking Willow and the White Willow. It grows in Zones 4 to 9 at a rate of 4 to 8 feet every year. At the peak of its maturity, it typically measures 30 to 40 feet but can reach 15 to 30 feet within its first three years. The Weeping Willow is a dramatic addition to any landscape, and its unique shape and branching make it quite the statement piece.

If you don't have the yard space for a large tree, the Black Bamboo may be a more realistic option. It can grow outdoors in Zones 7 to 10 but also thrives indoors with exposure to sunlight. Its culms turn black within three years of emerging, growing 3 to 5 feet per year and reaching a peak height of 15 to 30 feet. It needs rich topsoil to grow strong culms and, although it can have a slow start, will spread rapidly when it approaches maturity. They're easy to trim and can even be used to create a privacy screen.

The Baby Giant Arborvitae Tree is another fast-growing evergreen, but it grows in a more compact format that makes it popular as hedging. It thrives in Zones 5 to 9 and reaches a maximum height of about 14 feet. Since it reaches about 8 to 10 feet in three years and grows an average of 3 feet per year, it works well for new homeowners who are looking to create privacy or boundaries without the drastic height of most other fast-growing trees.

Able to withstand temperatures down to -30 degrees Fahrenheit, the Lombardy Poplar is an extremely hardy deciduous polar. Aside from its attractive, Italian inspired appearance, it is often used to block wind, standing at 40 to 60 feet upon reaching maturity. It can grow 8 to 10 feet per year and measures 30 to 40 feet tall after only three years. Their yellow fall foliage and elegance adds to their appeal for homeowners.

The Rainbow Eucalyptus Tree is one of the most visually stunning trees found on Earth. Native to Indonesia, the Philippines, and Papua New Guinea, it can also be found planted in frost-free areas and on patios throughout the United States. During the winter, it can be transferred indoors and kept near a south-facing window. It grows on patios in Zones 4 to 11 and fully outdoors in Zones 9 to 11. At full maturity, it reaches a height of 60 to 80 feet, but it can be trimmed to suit your personal preferences. Its fast growth of 3 to 5 feet per year makes it a favorite among eclectic and artistic homeowners who want to individualize their homescapes.

Not many trees can boast the elegance and flamboyance that the Tulip Poplar produces year in and year out. It's actually not closely related to a Tulip or Poplar tree, but rather to a Magnolia. As a flowering tree, its bright blooms blossom in May and June, complemented by yellow leaves that turn green as they age. It’s one of the most impressive trees on our list, growing up to 6 feet per year and reaching 70 feet or more once mature. They grow best in open areas that receive full sun. If you're looking to add color and personality to your landscape, the fast-growing Tulip Poplar is an optimal choice.

Unlike the more aromatic Bradford Pear, the Cleveland Pear is a beautiful flowering tree that effuses a lovely scent in the spring when it blooms. It can withstand -10 degrees Fahrenheit and flourishes in Zones 5 to 8. It averages a growth rate of 4 feet per year and stands at 30 to 40 feet tall once it's mature. Additionally, it grows uniformly, so it doesn't need to be managed or pruned constantly. The dainty white blooms in the spring and vibrant orange foliage in the fall can spruce up any home.

As the first and only palm tree on our list, the Mexican Fan Palm grows about 3 feet per year and is a stately addition to the interior or exterior of any home. If you'd like to cultivate one of these trees outdoors, you'll have to be located in Zones 8 to 11. However, the Mexican Fan Palm can be grown on patios in Zones 4 to 11 and then transported indoors. It measures 50 to 70 feet once mature and is a fantastic landscape piece.

The Heritage River Birch can prosper in Zones 4 to 9. It grows about 3 to 4 feet in height every year and stands at 50 to 20 feet after only three years. This fast-growing shade tree adapts well to a variety of soil types, so many households successfully grow these trees regardless of the quality and texture of the soil. The soil does, however, need to be well-drained, and full sunlight is needed for this tree to reach its full potential. This River Birch has a unique peeling bark that stands out in a cluster of other birch tree species.

While some trees don't fare well in the colder temperatures of the northern United States, the prosperity of the Quaking Aspen Tree more than makes up for the disappointment that north-dwelling burgeoning horticulturists may feel. It can withstand temperatures down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit and grows up to 5 feet per year in height. Its mature height is 40 to 50 feet, 15 to 30 of which is gained in the first three years. The Quaking Aspen got its name from the gentle quake of the branches when a breeze passes through the tree. The Quaking Aspen's gorgeous fall color is sure to add to the autumnal elegance of any landscape.

Overall, Willow Trees and Poplar Trees are among the fastest-growing trees for colder growing zones, while Evergreen Trees and Conifers can be relied upon to grow quickly in many different climates.

You don't have to wait years or even decades to see a tree you've planted reach its full glory. These 13 fastest-growing species experience rapid growth that provides you with a beautiful landscape or indoor greenery without the wait. Whether you're looking for a Black Bamboo Tree to fit your indoor minimalist aesthetic or a stately evergreen tree to add privacy to your yard, there's a fast-growing tree for every need.

Upgrade your homescape in no time.

Whether you’re looking for the fastest growing shade trees or the fastest growing trees for privacy, we’ve got you covered. From fresh florals to dazzling autumnal vibes and year-round greenery, our Fastest Growing Trees elevate your landscape in no time.

What are the Fastest Growing Trees?

From the classic Thuja Green Giant to the blazing Autumn Red Maple, our Fastest Growing Trees offer visual interest, carefree growth, and effortless benefits...fast. So, they're aptly named and gain multiple feet of growth each year. That means you get a ready-made look in no time.

When and How to Plant Your Fast Growing Trees

Generally, you should plant the Fastest Growing Trees in early spring or fall. However, you can plant in pots to stay on the porch or move indoors nearly any time of year!

Specific planting directions for each pick will depend on the variety you choose, but first, ensure you're buying for proper growing zones. Other than that, the most important factors for your Fastest Growing Trees are sunlight and watering needs.

From there, the actual planting process is simple. Find an area with the proper sunlight and well-drained soil. Then, dig a hole large enough to accommodate your tree’s root ball (with some room to grow), place your tree and backfill the soil. Finally, water the surrounding soil to settle your plant’s roots and mulch to conserve moisture.

names and descriptions of the best species

Landscaping a suburban area "from scratch" takes several years. Thin seedlings do not immediately turn into mature trees, under the dense crown of which you can hide from the hot summer sun. First they need to go through the process of getting used to a new place, take root well, and then grow branches. The process of improving the land allotment will go faster if you plant fast-growing trees and shrubs, which will change the appearance of the cottage in just 3-4 years.

The fastest growing trees

The fastest growing eucalyptus tree : in the first 3 years it can grow up to 10 m, and by the tenth year of life it can grow up to 25 meters. Unfortunately, in most regions of Russia eucalyptus is not grown, as it is a tree of tropical and subtropical climate. Other tree species are suitable for Russian latitudes, which, although inferior in growth to eucalyptus, , are also fast-growing.

Annual growth birch at the peak of its development can reach 2 m, and it is considered the fastest growing tree in the temperate latitudes of Russia. Birch quickly forms a crown, increases the diameter of the trunk, and in 4 years grows into a fairly large tree. The most common types of birches in the Russian open spaces drooping and curly .

White willow occupies the second place in terms of growth intensity. You can root a small twig, and with sufficient soil moisture, it will turn into a sprawling tree in 5 years.

Very fast growing poplar , especially its pyramidal forms, forming narrow, upward-looking crowns. But there is little benefit from one plant on the site, and in order to protect the site from the wind or create a dense shade, you need to plant at least 3-4 poplars nearby.

White locust - a tall tree with a spreading crown, blooming with fragrant white inflorescences from May to June. The plant belongs to the genus Robinia , and is not related to the genus acacia , inhabitants of the southern regions, which do not differ in rapid growth rates.

Among the deciduous species can also be distinguished maple, elm and ash , as well as bird cherry and aspen . In general, all tall deciduous trees grow quickly enough to reach the "adult" habitus.

Interesting. All trees do not grow in the same way throughout their lives. At first, they intensively add in volume and height, and from about the age of 10, the pace gradually decreases. For each plant, a decline in development occurs at a different stage of growth, but it occurs in deciduous and coniferous species in almost the same way.

Fast-growing trees for summer cottages

In landscaping a suburban area, you can use maples , birches and other tree species, but most often they are planted outside the fence. Usually other crops are used inside the land plot: ornamental, fruit, coniferous, medium and low-growing plants.

Ornamental deciduous

Trees with an unusual crown shape and non-standard leaf color look beautiful on an open lawn. They are planted in small groups, singly, or as a background for flower beds.

Beautiful garden trees:

Ornamental deciduous trees are planted in the most visible places: near the gazebo, near the terrace, in the center of the flower arrangement, near the artificial pond. The place should be open or with a light, openwork shadow at noon. In dense shade, beautifully colored leaves lose their color, and with it their elegance.

Fast-growing conifers

Compared to deciduous trees, conifers grow much more slowly, but there are also leaders among them. Large growth gives a large increase, and the first place is occupied by larches, Siberian and European .

Under favorable conditions, they grow by 1 m per year. This is the only coniferous plant that drops its needles for the winter: in autumn they turn yellow, and fall off with the onset of frost. In winter, the bare branches of larch are not a very attractive sight, so it is not as often used in landscape design as other representatives of conifers.

Norway spruce adds about 60 cm in one season, and that's a lot. Of course, after reaching a certain height, the growth rate slows down, but by this time the plant reaches about 2/3 of its final height.

From other types of spruce, Serbian spruce can be used to quickly improve the site.

Very fast growing tree - metasequoia . This is a coniferous tree of the cypress family, in adulthood reaching 35 m in height. A powerful trunk in diameter often reaches 2 m. Frost resistance (the plant can withstand up to - 35 C) allows you to grow metasequoia in regions located at the same latitude as the Moscow region and St. Petersburg.

Gaining green mass very quickly Giant thuja folded . The main thing is to provide it with conditions suitable for growth: drained soils, well-lit areas.

Fir trees do not belong to fast-growing plants, but among them there are varieties that grow relatively quickly: Veycha, Unicolor, Caucasian .

Important. Conifers should not be expected to start gaining mass immediately after planting. They take about 2 years to acclimate to their new location , after which they rapidly accelerate growth.

Fast-growing fruit trees

Fruit trees grow somewhat more slowly than ornamental and forest trees. This is explained by the fact that during the period of fruit ripening, the growth of the vegetative mass slows down significantly. This does not apply to plants bearing fruit in early summer: their growth is not limited by fruit development and continues even after harvest.

Fast growing sweet cherry . Freed from berries in June, it continues its vegetative growth until August. The same can be said about the cherry: it quickly takes root and grows, the main thing is that the crown is well lit by the sun.

Good growing black and white mulberries . Moreover, it responds well to spring pruning: even if you completely cut off the branches and leave short branches, you can count on rapid growth this year.

Apple and pear trees grow more slowly, but with proper care at first they can add up to 60 cm over the summer.

Fast-growing shrubs for dachas

Along with trees, deciduous, coniferous and berry bushes are grown in summer cottages. In small areas, they can be found even more often than trees, since the compactness of the crown saves space. In addition, shrubs are more versatile: they are used for zoning the site, creating hedges, being introduced into flower arrangements and flower beds.

Fast-growing coniferous shrubs

Quite fast growing Cossack juniper (Juniperus Sabina) . It grows intensively in width, forming dense arrays. It has the ability to take root by shoots: branches that are inclined and in contact with moist soil take root and give new shoots.

Horizontal juniper (Juniperus horizontalis) does not lag behind its Cossack relative in growth rate - its annual growth is 15 cm. Rising above the ground by only 30 cm, in a horizontal plane it can cover an area of ​​5 m.

To quickly fill the garden, it is recommended to buy coniferous plants at the age of 4-5, always in containers. Planting is carried out with minimal damage to the root system, due to which adaptation is quick and painless, and the plant gives good growth already in the year of planting.

Deciduous shrubs

Deciduous ornamental shrubs can change the landscape in just 2-3 years, as many of them grow very quickly. The following plants are in the top 6 in terms of the rate of growth of green mass:

Berry bushes

The use of fruit-bearing fast-growing shrubs in landscaping gives two advantages: edible (or medicinal) fruits and a beautiful landscape in 3-4 years. Gooseberries or currants are hardly suitable for these purposes, since they do not have a high growth rate, but there are other, faster-growing species.

Irga is a fast growing shrub plant resistant to low temperatures and dry soil. The fruits are small (1 cm in diameter), blue-black or red-violet, with a bluish bloom. It grows very quickly with root shoots that can be used for reproduction. Winter-hardy varieties with delicious sweet berries: Regent, Nelson, Slate .

Blue honeysuckle is a shrub 2.5 m high, fast growing, winter-hardy, cultivated for berries and as an ornamental plant. The berries are edible, blue with a bluish bloom, their appearance vaguely resembles a Hungarian plum.

Other types of honeysuckle cultivated in temperate latitudes are honeysuckle honeysuckle (climbing shrub, shoots up to 6 m, berries not edible), and common honeysuckle, or forest (shrub 2.5 m high, berries small, bright red, poisonous ).

Fast growing grapes : the vine grows back quickly even after major pruning. Used to create shady alleys, gazebos, beautiful green walls.

Fast-growing shrubs for hedges

This may sound a little hackneyed, but fast-growing shrubs are indispensable when creating a hedge. From it you can quickly "grow" a very dense, impenetrable fence of any height.

Free-growing hedges

If the plant fence will not be cut, highly ornamental plants can be selected. Barberry (Amur and common ) is a fruit-bearing shrub with berries rich in vitamins K and C. Thunberg barberry has a particularly attractive appearance with graceful, sloping branches, completely strewn with small burgundy-red leaves.

snowberry 9 is suitable for zoning the site0010 . Its fruits in the form of white balls remain on thin branches almost all winter. Easily tolerates a haircut, is characterized by unpretentiousness in relation to the composition of the soil.

To protect the land plot from the side of the street, thorny plants are suitable, for example, blackthorn and wild rose . True, the wild rose has a “habit” to grow uncontrollably, so it should immediately take the territory away, enclosing it with a border.

Molded hedges

For a sheared green hedge, densely leafy, abundantly branching shrubs are selected, that is, having a dense dense crown. The advantage of a molded fence is its compactness: it occupies a strictly limited space, does not block the view. They grow quickly and at the same time easily tolerate a haircut common privet, hawthorn, cotoneaster, willow shrub.

Cotoneaster lustrous

Conifers used in free-growing and shaped hedges. Growing fast western thuja . The most unpretentious variety " Brabant ", the annual growth of which is up to 30 cm. You can also plant a hedge from the western arborvitae Columna and Smaragd .

Thuya Columna

Norway spruce and prickly spruce are used to create impenetrable thorny hedges, and virginian juniper is used for zoning the site.

Planting a hedge, you can combine plants of different heights and colors of foliage, creating a unique landscape. Fast-growing shrubs and conifers in this creative work are excellent material.

In the end, I would like to say that trees, just like any living creatures, need care and maintenance: pruning, proper soil, protection from diseases and pests. It is not enough just to plant a seedling and forget about it. Care manuals can be found on the Internet, as well as information on protection against diseases (fungicides) and pests (insecticides such as Coragen, KS Expert Garden and Confidor Extra).

what to choose for the garden – Plod

Drinking tea, listening to the silence and the sounds of singing birds, in the shade of the spreading crown of a tree grown by one's own hands is a dream that seems unattainable to hundreds of people, because it can take decades to grow one tree. In fact, such an idea is quite feasible, because in a matter of years some tree crops will turn the uneven and bare terrain of the acquired land into a park area where you can place a bench and drink the same tea.

Moreover, fast-growing trees are very unpretentious and can withstand any growing conditions. Among them are fruit and ornamental. What are these cultures?

Trees that grow quickly and do not require maintenance are birches. Perhaps the first place in any rating of fast-growing trees should be occupied by a beauty with green braids, because the average growth of a birch in height in one year can be 1-2 meters. At the same time, it should be understood that birch has long been not only a tree from a golden field, but a huge family of plants, among which you can find a wide variety of crowns, leaf shapes and heights.


Another important fact is that birch is a very unpretentious tree form that loves light and does not tolerate soil compaction, i. e. you should avoid planting it next to asphalt paths, it is resistant to cold weather and diseases.
Interesting: designers recommend planting birches next to conifers, thus creating a luxurious backdrop of mixed groups of trees on the site.

Willow

The fastest growing tree is the willow. Willow, Rakita, Goat Willow - all these varieties of tree forms have long proven themselves among landscape designers. Willow is a fast-growing group of trees, the growth of which at a young age can reach up to 1 meter per year. At the same time, these are durable trees, extremely resistant to frost, diseases and smoke, as well as having a high ability to regenerate.

One has only to remember that all willows do not tolerate stagnant water, and it is better to plant them in sunny places with slightly alkaline soil.

Important - gardeners should take into account that willows are excellent honey plants, so the fragrance that appears with golden earrings on trees in the spring attracts a huge number of pollinating insects.

Maple

The Tatar maple is gaining more and more popularity among gardeners and summer residents - a low deciduous tree form, famous for its fiery red autumn foliage. These are the fastest growing trees in Ukraine. This is a very unpretentious plant, from which medium (up to 10 meters) hedges are obtained, which, however, do not like moisture very much and are exposed to diseases in water areas.

You can also pay attention to the holly maple, which in the spring will delight the eye with all shades of green, yellow, purple and fiery red. At the same time, the sharp-leaved maple is considered a shade-tolerant and frost-resistant plant, which is why, today, it is very common in Europe. The annual growth of the sharp-leaved maple in height, under the creation of favorable conditions, can be up to 80 cm.


Black locust

A beauty that has long been loved by landscape designers, as well as owners of green farms and the woodworking industry. White acacia is a shrubby, deciduous, honey-bearing form that grows like a tree in natural conditions. It is famous for its spreading and openwork crown, as well as incredibly beautiful flowering. An unpretentious, fast-growing shrub that can grow up to one and a half meters in a year. Acacia does not need careful care, so it is suitable for those people who cannot pay much attention to the garden. Ornamental varieties of acacia have fragrant, honey-bearing flowers that attract bees to the site. And, it is very useful for fruit trees and berry bushes. The result - the tree is completely unpretentious, is resistant to frost, drought and soil salinization.

Fast growing shrubs

Snowberry

The snowberry has thin, flexible gray-brown shoots and a dense crown. This shrub is not only fast growing, but also very beautiful at any time of the year. In spring, it is covered with dense foliage and delicate, white-pink flowers. Then the flowers turn into large, white or pink berries with a waxy coating, similar to precious pearls. In autumn, the leaves fall off, and the berries stay on the bushes until frost, until they are eaten by birds.


Common privet

Tall, tree-like shrub, growing 1.5-2 meters per year. The plant is unpretentious, does not require formation and constant care. The foliage of privet is dense and dark green. And black berries collected in brushes give decorativeness. The shrub gives a good, dense shade, and the fruits will become a delicacy for bullfinches and waxwings, which will arrive with the onset of winter.

Lilac

No garden is complete without this beauty. Lilac is unusually decorative. Her fragrant flowers, collected in a brush, will be beautiful not only on the branches, but also in the cut. With good care, lilacs can easily add one and a half meters in height per year.


Hazel

Many gardeners have undeservedly forgotten about this plant. Ah, in vain! With good care and regular watering, hazel grows quickly.
