Choosing a Shade Tree

There are many great shade trees native to Missouri. The best type of tree for your property will depend on environmental factors like the soil condition and population density of the area. Poynter Landscaping can help assess your land and find the trees best suited for that environment.

When selecting the best shade trees for your Weldon Springs, MO property, ask these questions:

  • Where do you want the shade to be? Our landscape designers can help determine the best place to plant the tree for the best shade coverage.
  • What is the expected height and width of the tree when it reaches maturity? Knowing this points you in the direction of the trees most appropriate for your specific property and tells you how far from your house and other structures the tree needs to be planted.
  • What is the life expectancy of the species? We plan for shade trees to be a part of the landscape for a long time, so you want them to have a long and healthy life span.
  • How quickly will it grow? You can’t plant a full-grown, 40-year-old tree. Because you will have to plant the tree when it is younger, choosing a species that grows rapidly will fulfill its function as a shade tree sooner.
  • What is the origin of the species? What is its hardiness rating? A tree’s hardiness rating tells you how well it will tolerate the climate where you live. Native plants have a better chance of thriving, are less likely to introduce invasive pests to your area, and require less water and money.
  • Does it bear fruit or produce flowers? Most shade trees do not, but some , such as the tulip tree, do flower. Also, keep in mind that some trees drop pods or cones, which will collect under the tree and throughout your yard.

Types of Trees Used for Shade

Shade trees are almost always deciduous trees rather than evergreen trees. Evergreens cast shade all year long, and their shade is thicker than the shade from a deciduous tree. In the winter, allowing the sun to shine on your home will help warm the house and melt surrounding ice and snow. And in the warmer months, the dappled light that shines through the gaps in the canopy of a nice maple tree is just the right touch.

Deciduous trees lose their leaves every fall. There are many varieties of deciduous trees. For your Weldon Springs, MO home, pick a Missouri native. Maple trees are popular shade trees in Weldon Springs, and do well in the St. Louis area. There are different types and sizes of maples. American sycamore, honey locust, river birch, and green giant arborvitae are some other common shade tree choices for your greater St. Louis home. Poynter's landscape designers will find the best trees for your home.
