We need to know where you live so we know what kind of tree will grow.

Maple trees are good for coverage, and you can purchase them in sizes from tiny to quite large. A nice big fat spruce tree would do as well.

Maple is correct but beware the dreaded box elder

Any websites or places in Western NY that will deliver a big tree?

I'm an asshole I've lived in my house for 5 years now and should have done this back then... My house is the type of house that in October we can he temps in the mid 60's and somehow my house is 75 degrees still.

Well if your not growing weed, then try cotton wood trees they grow crazy fast but seed out a cotton like snow flakes.

Look into installing a whole house fan. And i would recommend a muleberry tree.

Raywood ash grows relatively quickly for a deciduous tree, the leaves make great compost too.

Elm grows REALLY fast but avoid them because they love to break big branches in wind or ice storms and drop them on your home or car.
