Shade and Fruit Trees
|
The shade and fruit trees below I believe are the best
for the Midwest. People often ask me what is the best shade tree. I like
all the trees listed so it's a very hard question. If I had to pick only
one, it would be the Hackberry. It grows quite fast even in poor or
sandy soil, no serious diseases, lives a long life and does not have a
heavy leaf drop. But if I was going to plant 10 trees in my yard no more
then 2 would be Hackberries. Diversity is important. For every $1 you
spend on your yard trees, you increase your property value $10 when you
plant the right species.
