Shade is one of the most valuable things a mature tree gives you—and it's also one of the hardest things to be patient about. Most trees grow slowly, leaving you waiting years for a real canopy. But some trees grow genuinely fast—three to five feet a year—without the weak wood or invasive roots typically associated with rapid growth.

In this video, PlantDo Home & Garden covers seven of the best fast-growing shade trees you can plant this spring. All of them are native or well-adapted to the US, non-invasive, and built to become a magnificent part of your landscape.
