How Fast Can Trees Grow? Faster Than You Think!

Some trees in Utah County—especially in cities like Salem, Springville, and Payson—can grow surprisingly fast. Species like Siberian elm or cottonwood can shoot up over 2 feet per year! While that may seem great for shade, it often leads to overgrowth, damaged property, and safety risks.

Without regular care, fast-growing trees can block sunlight, crack sidewalks, and send roots into your home's foundation. That’s why routine maintenance like tree trimming and tree cutting is so important. If a tree becomes too large or dangerous, tree removal may be the best option.
