Recommendation for shade tree/shrub between two driveways?

3. Natchez Crape Myrtle

I have two of them. They will fit that space pretty well and they are fast growing and will provide good shade without getting too large. The only debris you will get from them is the falling flowers, which easily blow away in the wind. They do drop seeds, but they aren't really noticeable.

The bark is very attractive although you will probably have to treat for insect bark scale occassionally if that problem appears, but that's no big deal.

They produce white blooms for about 90 days in the summer. It's a good idea to prune several of the branches each year to keep them blooming aggressively and you can deadhead the old blooms if you want to make it bloom even more.
