Barking up the right tree
The Gazette
|July 12, 2025
ADD STRUCTURE AND COLOUR THAT'S PERFECT FOR YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE
PLANTING a tree brings lasting rewards. Whether you're after structure, seasonal colour or a boost for local wildlife, the right tree adds beauty and purpose to any garden.
And while trees are best planted in spring or autumn rather than the height of summer, you can buy them in containers now.
Just ensure you water them in well when planting. Find out some great trees to choose from to best suit your space.
Flowering Favourites
For gardeners who love floral displays, these trees offer wonderful seasonal blooms and attract pollinators too.
Malus 'Profusion' is a spring star, with purplish-pink blossom followed by bronzed leaves and rich purple fruits through summer.
Albizia julibrissin 'Ombrella' (silk tree) brings a tropical feel, flowering in July with fluffy pink blooms loved by bees. Best in warm, sheltered gardens, in a frost-free position or with frost protection.
