Transform Your Landscape Fast—with Trees Built for Speed and Staying Power
Our collection highlights trees renowned for their rapid establishment and noticeable growth in their first year. Whether you’re blocking a view, softening street noise, or cooling a patio, these selections deliver quick height and density without constant babying. You’ll find evergreen screens, flowering accent trees, and shade providers that thrive in heat, humidity, and varied soil conditions.
Vigorous Growth, Four-Season Appeal, Real-World Performance
“Fast” doesn’t have to mean flimsy. We focus on trees that pair quick top growth with strong roots, so they weather wind, heat, and storms. Evergreens provide year-round structure; deciduous all-stars bring spring bloom, summer canopy, and fall color—plus attractive bark through winter. It’s speed plus longevity, not speed instead of it.
Landscape Uses & Functional Benefits
- Privacy & Windbreaks: Green Giant Arborvitae, Murray Cypress, and Eastern Red Cedar can be knit together quickly to create living fences.
- Shade & Energy Savings: Red Maple and Tulip Poplar grow into broad canopies that cool your home and yard.
- Ornamental Impact: Crape Myrtles and Redbuds deliver months of color while still growing briskly.
Maintenance & Durability Advantages
Fast-growing doesn’t equal high-maintenance. With deep weekly watering during the first season, proper mulch, and modest annual pruning, these trees settle in and essentially take care of themselves. Many are drought- and heat-tolerant once established, making them ideal for busy homeowners and commercial sites.
Featured Fast-Growing Trees
Green Giant Arborvitae (Thuja ‘Green Giant’)
America’s favorite fast-growing privacy tree shoots up 2–3+ feet per year, forming a dense, wind-tough screen that handles heat, humidity, and cold: Low-maintenance, deer-resistant, and evergreen for 365-day coverage—ideal for property lines and road buffers.
Murray Cypress (Cupressocyparis leylandii ‘Murray’)
A quicker, tougher Leyland bred for strong branching and better disease resistance. Expect rapid height and tight, feathery texture that fills in gaps fast—perfect for instant green walls and long runs where speed matters.
Natchez Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei ‘Natchez’)
Blazing fast growth plus months of pure white bloom, handsome cinnamon bark, and glossy foliage. Heat-loving and drought-tolerant once established, it’s a standout for streetscapes, driveways, and broad sunny beds.
Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis)
A native charmer that establishes quickly and blooms early with rosy-pink flowers before heart-shaped leaves emerge. Compact size, pollinator appeal, and reliable speed make it a go-to accent for front yards and mixed borders.
Graceful, fast-elongating leaders and soft, cascading branches create instant presence. This heat-tolerant evergreen thrives in poor soils and provides year-round color with surprisingly quick establishment for a conifer.
Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens)
Iconic, columnar, and quick to make a statement along drives and entries. Once established, it’s drought-tough and low-care, delivering vertical architecture and evergreen polish in modern or Mediterranean designs.
Wichita Blue Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum ‘Wichita Blue’)
An upright, silvery-blue evergreen with reliably fast juvenile growth and excellent toughness against sun, wind, and poor soils. Use for narrow privacy runs, accents, and four-season color that holds in the heat.
Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana)
Native, durable, and quick to establish—great for windbreaks, wildlife value, and year-round screening. Thrives where others struggle, from lean soils to open, sunny exposures.
