Ken and Lisa Lain, the Top 10 Gardeners, are here to help you transform your backyard into a shady sanctuary. Has the summer sun got you burning up? Fear not! Planting a strategic shade tree is a fantastic way to cool things down.
Here are some fast-growing champions to consider:
- Austrian Pine: This speedy evergreen offers year-round shade and handsome dark green needles. Plus, it provides a lovely window screen.
- Arizona Cypress: Looking for a fast-growing privacy screen and shade provider? This Arizona native is a winner, boasting silvery-blue foliage.
- Also, consider Desert Willow, Prescott Blaze Maple or Locust trees
Planting for Shady Success:
- Consider your mature size: Think about how big the tree will eventually get and choose a spot that allows for ample growth.
- Sun or shade? Austrian Pines prefer full sun, while Arizona Cypress tolerates some shade.
Bonus Tip: Fall is an excellent time to plant trees! They'll establish strong roots before the summer heat hits, and you'll be enjoying cool shade sooner rather than later. Watters Garden Center has a fantastic selection of shade trees to choose from. Stop by and let our experts help you find the perfect fit for your yard!
