Ornamental Trees At Steins Garden Center?
Are you looking for small garden ideas to bring colour and interest to your outdoor space throughout the seasons? Those with compact gardens might think there isn't enough room to plant trees but, if you choose the right variety, they can be the perfect addition to a small garden.
Trees can bring you flowers in spring and summer, radiant leaf colour in autumn and interesting bark patterns during winter. They are also good for screening an unattractive view or helping to filter noise and air pollution if you live near a busy road.
Trees also benefit nature significantly, providing pollen for insects and shelter for birds. They convert air-borne carbon dioxide into oxygen.
If you're concerned about your tree growing too tall, don't worry: many are suitable for the smallest of gardens and most can be pruned regularly to keep them compact.
Sarah Squire, Chairman of Squire's Garden Centres says: "If there is one thing I think we could all do for our world fairly easily it is plant a tree.
"Trees are fantastic as a habitat and food source for wildlife and as a source of carbon capture. They also give structure and architecture to a garden.
"There are trees for every size and shape of garden, from a small acer in a pot on a balcony or a gorgeous flowering cherry in a back garden, to birch, whitebeam and hornbeam (my personal favourite) for larger spaces."
