This tree is also known as a pin oak or Nutall oak. It is also the fastest growing oak tree! It provides beautiful, vibrant colors for your yard - along with lots of acorns.Red Maple
If you want a tree that turns gorgeous colors in the fall, along with great shade in the summer, the red maple could be a great choice. It grows around 3 to 5 feet a year depending on the climate and care.Nothern Catalpa
The northern catalpa is known for being a wonderful shade tree, as well as being popular because of its beautiful large flowers. When they are in bloom, they contribute both sight and scent to your perfect paradise. They do also attract bees, though, so that's something you should take into consideration.American Sycamore
