I think my top 5 would be...
1. tulip poplar
2. sugar maple
3. american chestnut/black walnut/hickory/hardy pecan (I like edible nut trees)
4. yellow birch
5. black gum
Posted this in the lawn thread, but you could wait and see if one of these get approved by the USDA too.

I've read the hybrid ones have more invasive roots.

I mean pick any tree and it's going to have negatives. They all drop seed and leaves.
They went NW and mixed out a bit...temp went up to 87 and dew down to 58. But bouncing around 85-86 now. I wonder if the 850 temps already hit peak and are slowly dropping.
Got this email from Dr. Powell, but here's the Tweet. For anyone hoping to get the transgenic American chestnut back into the wild click on some of the links and leave a comment. Hopefully the US govt will give it the green light.
They can be a little sappy and drop some branches at maturity, but I think it’ll be awhile before he has to worry about that. They’re less messy than catalpa although I’m growing both from seed right now.
He just got a red maple so I figured he wanted something different for variety.
How are tulip trees wrt roots? Those are fast growing and showy when they bloom.
