All,
I am wanting to plant some medium to large long-lived trees with a moderate to rapid growth rate. I have considered liveoak, but understand the growth rate is very slow.
Soil type is acidic (pH=5.5, sandy). Does anyone have a recommendation? Would Ash be a good choice? I have also considered sweetgum, as this is along a gravel driveway, and the balls wouldn't be such a problem, I wouldn't think, as it is just pasture. Everyone I told that I was considering sweetgum laughs at me and tells me it is a trash tree, though.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joseph
