[QUOTE="briarcreekguy, post: 2784232, member: 16975"] Sad to hear about the loss of your tree. I think that a lot of people do not realize how much the shade of a big tree affects your cooling costs. I lived in one house for 18 years and it had a couple of seedless mulberries on the west side. They were small when I moved in but matured nicely, I saw a dramatic drop in my cooling bill as the shade got better each year. The next owners came in and cut them down, I bet they were surprised when their electric bill came. Unfortunately all the trees that I know of that mature quickly, seem to be softer woods that drop lots of limbs when the Oklahoma winds blow. Maybe someone on here can recommend a tree that grows fast but yet is strong enough to endure the gusting winds. [/QUOTE]
