Pinging some of the FR gardening group.

Looking for a recommendation for trees in sandy South Carolina.

I LOVE Larch and Tamaracks! Just sold my little farm, and I am going to miss my Tamarack Pine like nobody’s business. :(

I am not sure what sort of tree would do good in this environment, but I have always been fascinated by that Dawn Redwood. It has survived since the dinosaurs roamed, and reportedly does well in all sorts of poor soil/environment.

Grows 3 - 6 ft. per year. I also like mammoth hickory and Chestnut Trees, but for shade, it’s hard to beat a good ole sugar Maple.
