Fast growing trees can be a great option for windbreaks. While a lot of trees are slow growing and will take decades to fill in for a windbreak, there are some good choices to get a jump start. There are some poplar and willow hybrids that can grow a few feet a year and quickly start working to help stop the cold winter winds.
Typically when planting these fast growing hybrid trees, you will want to plant them at a close spacing, so they fill in fast and are a good density. Spacings can be as close as 3' apart. If planting multiple rows, then you can plant them farther apart and stagger the rows.
With proper care, what are some of the expectations for growth? The first year they should already be over 10 feet tall and the second year, around 20' feet tall. Within 10 years, these trees are practically full grown already.
So if you have a bare lot or even if you are replacing an old run-down hedge row, I have quick growing trees that will quickly help you out.
Here is a list of all the trees I currently have available for sale, whether for fast growing windbreak use, shade, or even privacy screening!
