Fast Growing and Beautiful

I have never seen a tree grow this fast. We had a great-sized 3.0-inch caliper New Horizon Elm planted in 2019. As of 2022, I would say the tree has grown at least 5 more feet tall and 4-5 feet wide and that is without any leaves on it yet. It gives off great shade already.
