Shade Trees for Sale from Spring Hill Nurseries
Popular for their versatility and fast-growing nature, shade trees are ideal for creating privacy from neighbors or naturally cooling yards and homes – while often adding stunning color and visual appeal. Shade trees are typically chosen first in landscaping design, creating borders that mature quickly and look great for years to come.
Choosing & Planting Shade Trees
Shade trees usually thrive in full sun, absorbing UV rays and CO2 to create cool, calm oases. When selecting your trees, consider the following:
- Available space for canopies and root spread
- Amount of sunlight the space receives throughout the day
- Soil type, drainage, and pH
- Other plants and trees in the area
- Utilities (both above and below ground)
- Hardiness zones
Tip: Planting shade trees on the southern border of your property creates maximum shade for your home.
