Here is a list of the best shade trees available and take into account how well they provide shade. How they look and information on each tree or shrub.

River Birch Tree - Betula Nigra
Oriental and London Planetrees
Sycamore Tree - Platanus Occidentalis
Sourwood Tree - Oxydendrum Arboreum
Sassafras Shade Tree - Sassafras Albidum
Sweetgum Shade Tree - Liquidambar Styraciflua


Note that evergreens are the best shade trees for hotter climates whilst deciduous trees provide shade in summer but
do not cast a cold shadow in cooler climates during the cold months which should be a major consideration for you, depending upon where you live. The River Birch Tree, Betula Nigra, is an extremely gorgeous tree especially for landscapes. It’s a tree with characteristically distinctive flaking bark that is replaced by glossy smooth bark in the spring. The river birch can be planted as a single eye-catching specimen or as a magnificent billowing clump.

Best Shade Trees - Evergreen and Deciduous Shade TreesThe Sassafras Shade Tree, Sassafras Albidum, produces fragrant growth including the bark, flower, and roots. The roots were used for the period of the civil war to make sassafras tea that induced a pain-relieving narcotic effect on battle-wounded southerners.

The Sourwood Tree, Oxydendrum Arboreum, and the Sweetgum Shade Trees, Liquidambar Styraciflua, equally create stunningly impressive leaf color in the fall, both the sourwood and the Sweetgum trees turn yellow, orange, and red progressively in stages.

The Sycamore Tree, Platanus Occidentalis, also known as the American Sycamore, is conceivably one of the best fast growing shade trees available. Sycamore trees can grow to 2 feet trunk diameter & 50 feet tall in 20 years with a commanding canopy circumference. The size of this tree reminds you that you have to plan for future growth as you may end up getting it cut down if you don't have space for it in a few years time and that can be very expensive!

 The related Oriental and London Planetrees are also considered best shade trees and are often planted in streets. They can be identified from the Sycamore fruit, which is normally borne on singly on long stalks, whereas the Planetree has strings of 2 to 4. These tree cope well with city life and the all too common air pollution.

Numerous shrubs and bushes grow healthy when positioned in front of clumping bamboo tree screens. Tall bamboo have to be the best shade trees ever as they have everything you could want from good looks, range of sizes, controllable shade by trimming and space-saving. Bamboo does however spread very easily and you could find root growth appearing in all directions with many young shoots rapidly appearing!
