We live in Saginaw, just north of Fort Worth and we are hoping to plant a bunch of trees in our backyard along the east fence to provide some afternoon and evening shade for our 'future deck'.
We had hoped to buy Poplars as I read that they grow about six feet a year and make great screens/borders. However, I just heard the Dirt Doctor a week or so ago mention that these trees are riddled with disease problems. Can ya'll please suggest something that I can use? I would prefer evergreens but that isn't necessarily important.
Many thanks
Nina
