I recommend you to look out for a Talisay tree, they grow relatively fast, they are undemanding (they grow up everywhere, even at the beach, and don't need much water), and they spend great shadow later on. you can also trim the branches in any form or direction you like. doesn't have any fruits except a kind of nuts, our dogs like them to chew on them. if you find a big Talisay tree just search under it, there are many sprouts to take out. Never pay anything for a young tree, they are available everywhere for free, maybe just ask the property owner before you take out some. you don't want to get shot for a tree. if you don't find any just txt me, we have a lot around here.

 

Cutting trees is not the problem. The problem is not having the foresight to plant new trees. Cutting the trees and making things from the lumber is a form of carbon capture where carbon is removed from the environment and sequestered long term.

 

Trees. We do need trees to combat the effects of global warming. I wonder why some people are cutting them when they are a big help to us.
