Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on planting trees?
We have a dark area at the side of our house with a few trees that are dying, we want to replace them as soon as we can but we are looking for fast growing trees. The area is quite dark, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend any particular type of tree?
Many thanks, Peat

You probably won`t find anything faster then Populus,very fast growing and a big tree.Populus Nigra it`s a lovely tree with a columnar shape,but You looking at about 25-30m in hight,Populus simonii fastigiata is smaller but wider,15m hight and about 5m in width.Eucalyptus also would be a good choice.Malus (crab apple), John Downie,nice,fast and very ornamental 5-6m hight and up to 4m in width,only problem is that Malus needs full sun like all apple trees.Liriodendron Aureomarginatum as well as Fraxinus pennsylvanica also needs full sun but both of them are fast growers.They all available in Garden Centers.Good Luck
