| Trees suitable for Small Gardens.Advice and information on trees suitable for planting and growing in small gardens.There are many different ideas as to what is a small garden, and also what is a small tree! We try to make the choice of trees for small gardens a little easier.
We will concentrate on trees actually being planted into the ground. Bear in mind that some trees - though short in stature - can have a 'spread' that is not proportionate to the overall height, so may not after a few years be considered as 'small' trees! There are narrow, columnar - or fastigiate - trees that, whilst they may grow to quite a height, are narrow enough not to take over the small garden. Some trees can be 'multi-purpose' in that they may have attractive fruits, foliage and or flowers. Invariably the tree will be planted towards the edge of your garden - so it would be wise to think of the effect it will have on neighbour's gardens as well as your own.
