Best tree for Utah
Comments (5)in my experience.. there is nothing that will grow fast enough to provide any useable shade ... in 5 to 7 years anything that is worthwhile to have ... anyway since you are limited as to how long you will be there.. insure at the next house... that you buy the shade you want/need ... and insure it is from trees that will be there in 100 years ... as compared to trees the 'claim' to be fast growing ... ken...See MoreServiceberry trees... favorites? and luck with blk walnut tree?
Comments (1)I did a search for "black walnut tree" and came up with several websites that cover what will and won't grow. One is attached below, and I'm sure that you can track down some others that will have the information you want. Here is a link that might be useful: Ohio State article on black walnut...See MoreTree/shrub growing in Utah
Comments (4)If you were looking at a newer development that was fairly high on a hill, those might have been scrub oaks that were there naturally, and they left some of them when they developed. The scrub oaks don't get really tall, and they're somewhat bushy. But I don't think they spread by runners. I may be mistaken, but I've never heard of an oak spreading that way. Not sure what else to tell you without more information about the plant characteristics. Any more info? Any photos?...See MoreWhat's your favorite standard tree/shrub?
Comments (36)I love love love my Helleri Holly shrubs!! The 'helleri' cultivar was named Holly of the Year for 2015 by the Holly Society of America. Plant in the full sun to partial shade in acidic well-drained soil though it tolerates a wide range of soil types, from moist to dry, including clay. The shrub can be pruned to manage its size so it works well in small spaces. Helleri Holly has dark green evergreen foliage on a plant with a round habit of growth. The small glossy oval leaves remain dark green throughout the winter. It produces black berries from mid fall to late winter. I live in NJ, and my shrubs seem to love living here!...See Moregoodwithweeds
