What trees grow fastest in West Fork?

Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae and Mexican White Oak. Both add 2-3 feet per year in zone 7b. Trees shipped in spring or fall establish well in West Fork's mild weather.

What are the best shade trees for West Fork?

Mexican White Oak is a top choice. It grows fast and stays semi-evergreen in zone 7b, providing year-round shade. Oaks provide dense canopy to cool your yard.

Can I grow fruit or citrus trees in West Fork?

Yes, but not citrus. West Fork's winter lows of 5-10 degrees F kill citrus. However, Chicago Hardy Fig and Elberta Peach thrive here. The fig is cold-hardy; the peach needs about 800 chill hours, which zone 7b provides.
