Suitable trees for small gardens
Think carefully about which tree inyour small gardencomes into question – an evergreen, beautifully flowering or fruit-bearing variety? Does this variety suit the conditions in your garden – location, soil, sunlight? The shape of the crown and the vigor must also be taken into account. Regular pruning is recommended to regulate size.
Spherical trees for small gardens
– Slow-growing ball trees that are well suited for small gardens include the ball maple, the ball trumpet tree, the ball locust and the ball acacia. However, their round crowns can grow up to 4-6 meters wide as they age, which is too much for a mini garden. The hawthorn and the blood plum also have a rounded crown up to approx. 5 m in diameter. Pruning is recommended every 3-5 years.
Columnar tree varieties
– Narrow column shapes are forsmall gardens becoming increasingly popular. The columnar hornbeam, columnar hawthorn, columnar cherry, columnar rowan and golden elm create height and structure but cast little shade. They are approximately 1.5 meters in diameter and up to 7 m high.
Trees with hanging branches
– Trees with hanging branches such as the weeping elm, the hanging pussy willow, the silver birch, the hanging mulberry and the red hanging beech are particularly suitable for individual placement in small gardens due to their interesting shape. These decorative trees reach a height of approximately 3 meters.
