What is the fastest growing tree in southern Indiana?
The Eastern Cottonwood (Populus deltoides) is believed to be the fastest growing tree native to North America and it grows best in river bottoms and wetlands along the Mississippi and Ohio River basins. The Ohio River forms the southern boundary of Indiana, thus providing a very good growing environment for this tree.References:Trees, Climate and People: Biomass – Green & Sustainable Energy for KentuckyU.S.
