Wife just called and said 1/3 of our big tree in the front yard is split and laying in my neighbor's yard. She said it looks like it was struck by lightning. It was probably just wind.
Now I'm pissed because that tree covered the entire front yard and gave lots of shade. If I lose it entirely the house is gonna feel awfully "exposed".

They make Hybrid trees you can buy that grow like 6 - 8 ft a year. Be a quick way to get shade in a few years. I'm not sure how big you can buy them to start with though.
I would plant both. Then cut down the hybrid after the real tree got biggeryou don't want that weed in your yard. Get a real tree, yes it takes a while to grown to a height that will give you shade, but those hybrids won't give you shade and will die within 10 years. Then you have an unsightly mess.

The old owner of my high school house was a researcher for Lilly. When we moved in he had all kinds of threes that he had spliced about 5 feet off the ground. It seemed to work for him!Or plant them side-by-side so they fuse together and form a hybrid-hybrid tree!
ETA: I'm pretty sure it's still just a hybrid tree.
I literally just laughed out loud.Hybrid-hybrid trees get better gas mileage.
