Growth Rates:
Typically our growing season is from spring to the end of summer. Growth rates vary depending on the species, climate, shade requirements, access to sunlight, root growth limitations, and many other variables. Not all growing seasons are the same. A saying goes first they sleep, then they creep, then they leap. In other words, expect the growth rates during the initial two to three seasons to be slow and low.
Generally sun loving and dwelling evergreen trees grow faster than shade loving and dwelling trees. Sun loving trees with a big spreading canopy can grow upwards of a foot of growth per growing season. However this is not a firm rule and there are exceptions. For example, some of our dwarf evergreens that hang tough in the full sun grow slow and low despite being sun dwellers.
