[Dianna Vesta]

Unfortunately there are not many fast growing trees. I deal mostly in fruit trees and I prefer them because they normally flowers, they are scented and the bonus is fruit. Even with your big tree down it looks like the area is still shaded. They would be hard for any tree requiring full sun. It’s hard to tell from the pictures.

We sell something called a Strawberry Tree that grows very fast; 4 feet a year. It makes a nice shade tree. It doesn’t look great when it’s still young but when they get older they are very pretty. They produce a white flower and a small tiny fruit that taste like strawberry cotton candy. They attract a lot of birds.

A few other trees that are very pretty;

Allspice – moderate growth, nice foliage and produces a nice flower and scent.
Longan – something like lychee but brown with sweet fruit that clusters. Very pretty tree.
Ylang-Ylang – these can get very tall , very pretty and unreal scented flower.

There are others. If you keep them 20 feet from the house none of these will be problem. Not like banyans and ficus that dominant the yard.
