I'm looking for a deciduous tree to plant near a swimming pool (20' away), it should provide shade, not be messy, not be too tall (20' - 40') and have a clear trunk with branches starting at 6' or so (at maturity) (so the view isn't blocked by the top of the tree) and last but not least - of course be a fast grower!! I'm in zone 6 (Virginia) and the spot is full sun with fairly strong winter winds, good drainage, fairly crappy soil.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I can't give you any advice about trees, but I did want to say hello and welcome to Hallsons!
