   In southern Louisiana the west side of my new subdivision house had the
full force of the afternoon sun - side street there.
I planted some Silver Maples between the sidewalk and the curb and waited.
Took 15 years but after 2:30 PM or so that wall was in the shade. Big
difference.
   I just asked nursery person for a tree that grew fairly fast and that
didn't get over 30' - 35' feet or so (and was somewhat native to the area).
