I'd like to plant some native trees for screening along back of our fairly shallow back yard. I'm looking for fairly open at the bottom (no conical evergreens), with main action about 5-25 feet above the ground. The area floods sometimes in spring, but I can plant on low mounds to help.
Current candidates are: cotinus obovata, amelanchier, carpinus caroliniana, cornus alternifolia.
Anyone have pictures or experience with any of these or suggestions about others? I'm especially interested in growth rates (at least one fast one would be nice).
Thanks,
Limnaia
