You guys are adorable. I have planted a hong kong orchid from a pod I picked up underneath a neighbors tree that I fell in love with. I was obsessed when I saw it in bloom. Had no idea what it was but one morning when I was walking and saw her out watering her microclimate she told me. She also said in a few weeks when the pods were brown and started falling on the ground I was welcome to one. Well now my little tree is almost 4 inches high and I am so excited to see it grow. Thanks for mentioning the HKO tree.

I planted a Sissoo over two years again and I have decided to remove it because it’s not growing. The trunk is increasing in girth but it is still the same height. I can’t plant as many shade trees as I would like because of overhead power lines. The tipu sounds like a beautiful, potential replacement for the Sissoo. In addition to shade I need noise abatement from the airplanes that pass directly over the house. I lost a significant portion of a willow acacia that supplies the bulk of my shade. I may in the very near future need to replace that tree as well. Love your enthusiasm and generous expressions of gratitude. My garden is my happy place as well and I appreciate the inspiration you provide as I transform my yard.

We don't normally recommend using any poisons, but it's necessary to poison the stump of a sissoo tree to keep it from growing back from any remaining roots in your yard. There is a product our local nursery sells that forces the stump into decomposition, maybe you can find something similar in your area. Hope you were able to find a tipu tree in Cali!

So helpful! I killed $2,800 worth of trees that Moon Valley said, for sure, would be perfect for my new build yard. I got the insurance on all of them but they would not honor it. BIG lesson.

I've always liked those trees when I've seen them around Tucson. Curious about how much water they take and how drought tolerant they are. You were giving it 15 gallons once a week in the summer?

They aren't fully deciduous in our yard at least, but they do tend to look a little bare at the end of winter. Hope your garden is doing great man!! :D

Great questions! All of our tipu trees were saplings in 15-gallon pots, the bottom of the trunks were only about an inch in diameter. They do grow very fast. We keep all of our trees evenly moist for the first couple of years, and we plant everything in a rich soil mixture -- try using Happy Frog Soil Conditioner when first planting something, you can also add it as a top dressing to existing plants. Hope this helps!

We have seen crepe myrtle growing successfully in some of our clients' yards; just make sure to provide afternoon shade in the summer and keep the plant well hydrated. Keep in mind that it will typically grow as a shrub and not a tree in AZ. You can also look into Hong Kong Orchid for a beautiful flowering tree.

We're considering planting prickly pear to use as a hedge around our seven acres to help keep free-range cattle away. I'm hoping moringa will grow well here. We have a red fruited mulberry tree and a Pakistan mulberry tree that can be used for shade as well. Now the job is to amend and create an environment for getting these trees in the ground.

There are hundreds popping up in the neighborhood. I feel it's pretty much a never ending fight at this point. Have you ever heard of a Sissoo growing into a tree from a sucker?

But it was introduced to Australia and it is invasive there. 2) Sissoo tree, which is native to southern Asia, is a distant relative of Tipu - both are in the legume family, same subfamily and tribe - and therefore both have the ability to fix nitrogen. I admit that Sissoo has probably a higher invasive potential thanks to the suckers.

Try doing both. We usually keep our tipu trees on a stake for 1-2 years, and just thin the branches out so wind can pass through. Once they start growing, they go fast!

Hey guys, how is the garden going? We are in the QC area as well. We (wife and I) would love to come see how things are going. We just bought a new to us house out here and would love to turn our front and back yards into gardens and green areas. We have two Sissoo trees we just started working on getting rid of. One is tearing up a block wall and sending shoots all over. The other is just feet from our house. Hit me up if we can come visit and if you are interested in mentoring.

Thanks so much for reaching out, and congrats on the new house! Definitely make sure the sissoo stumps are poisoned when they are removed, or you (and your neighbors!) will have baby sissoo trees everywhere. We don't open our home up to the public, but we do offer virtual consultations if you feel like that would benefit you! Please feel free to check out our website greeniedigs.com for more info, or reach out if you have any other questions!

It's definitely smart to consider a plant's mature size before planting it in your yard. For us, a big tree is exactly what we need to create big shade! Consider driving through your town and look for any trees that you are planning to plant yourself, and look for mature specimens. Check the ground around those mature trees and see if there are any foundations or sidewalks being disturbed. A lot comes down to the way you care for your individual tree, but this is a good way to get an idea of if a tree could be damaging or not. Hope this helps!

What is the best shade tree with no messy roots or too many leaves for smaller yards but still give good shade?

@GreeniesGarden

All trees shed, but some shed all at once and others shed throughout the year. For extremely low litter and small roots, you could plant some palm trees. Hong Kong Orchid may be a good choice since it won't grow too large. Hope this helps!

Hi guys! Have a question for you. Is the tipu considered an invasive tree? I want one but I thought I heard they are invasive. Can you tell me what the truth is? I also have an elm tree and boy it is invasive. Great shade tree but I have a lot of little ones growing. I'm in California. Please advise...

@GreeniesGarden

That's a great question and it's hard for us to answer. Online, we see that it's considered invasive in some places, but we have never seen a problem with them here in AZ. Might be best to check with your Ag department or ask a local nursery so they can best inform you for your area.

My mom is looking to get a tipu tree for the front yard but we can't find a 10 gallon (guy planting it won't charge us for the tree if it's 10 or under) do you know anywhere to get one near Surprise AZ?

She's had to replace the tree 3 or 4 times over 19 years. I think we had some sort of palo verde but they kept dying the last one to some sort of beetles and when we asked what a good tree was at the nursery they recommended a few trees but she liked the tipu the most.

@GreeniesGarden

Normally the smallest size you will find is 15 gallon; we have seen them at Lowe's in this size, and also at A&P Nurseries in the east valley. Normally a 15 gallon tree will be about 6-8 feet tall with a trunk about 1 inch in diameter. There was one time we found tiny 5-gallon size Tipu trees at Lowe's, and they were about 3 feet tall. They do grow fast so we recommend starting with a smaller size when possible. Hope this helps!

The Sizu tree's seeds looks a lot like that of the ailanthus.
