FAST-GROWING SHADE TREES IN AUSTRALIA
Have you been considering taking on a new landscaping project? By planting some new trees, you can refresh the overall look of your outdoor space while also creating a more shady and usable area.
Here at Same Day Trees & Palms, we’re experts when it comes to trees of all species. Have a read below as we investigate some of the fastest-growing shade trees in Australia.
Tahitian Lime Tree:
Tahitian lime trees grow best in warmer clients, making them a perfect choice for most Queensland backyards. A Tahitian lime tree will grow to be about 3m tall and when fully developed it should be round in shape. There are many important aspects to consider when selecting a citrus growing tree—most citrus trees require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, they also flourish best in well-drained soil.
Magnolia ‘Teddy Bear’ Tree:
The ‘Teddy Bear’ tree grows to be about 4m tall and offers white fragrant flowers throughout the warmer months of the year. This tree is another top choice for those seeking a fast-growing tree that will provide good shade cover. A Teddy Bear tree has glossy deep green leaves and is well suited to most Australian climates including coastal locations.
Cercis ‘Forest Pansy’
This tree is ideal for creating shade in your garden, particularly when you have a larger space to work with because it grows to be roughly 5x5m. This tree is also known as a ‘Purple Redbud’ as it produces stunning purple-pink coloured flowers. It’s best to protect this tree from harsh winds and to plant in the ground if possible rather than a pot.
