Put down ROOTS

Add some leafy loveliness with a tree whatever the style or size of your garden

- CHRIS MORLEY

Treat your garden to a tree - it brings multiple benefits, from seasonal leaf colour, flowers and fruit, to shelter for wildlife and even a shady canopy to sit below. Plus, its shapely structure gives a sense of place and permanence; a feature that stands through all weathers and changes.

But as a long-lived plant, it's important your tree suits the intended site, especially in terms of how big it can grow over 10-120 years.
