I love lindens. The grow quickly and have little yellow flowers in June that are so beautifully scented. Nice heart shaped leaves and a nice spread. Silver leaf maple is also a quick growing tree, but it gets really big! Ours in the front is huge. It has kind of a drooping character to it like a willow. The other we out in is an amur maple. It grows on the average 2-3 feet each year. Very pretty and can be pruned to have a nice arch to it so you can sit under it. Ours is now about 12 feet high in 4 years. It was pretty small when we got it. Don't plant black walnut if you want anything to grow around it. It is very toxic and besides dropping nuts, it is messy in fall.Our neighbor has one the hangs over our yard. Nice shade, but very messy.
