Hurry! September may be your last chance to plant these fast-growing trees – 7 native specimens for spectacular and full displays next spring

Lush trees and green foliage in an ornamental backyard surrounded by a white fence.

Fall offers a great opportunity to plant trees. Newly planted trees can establish themselves strongly and quickly in warm, moist soils and enjoy the cooler temperatures of early fall. There are no better trees to pick than native ones, and here is our pick of fast-growing trees to plant in September that are native to the states.
