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.
Guaranteed to Grow in 2008 with proper care or will replace at no charge.
