My Top 10 Trees for Small Spaces, Gardening, U.K.

My Top 10 Trees for Small Spaces, Gardening, U.K.

With many of us having smaller gardens, or spaces in which to plant, being of limited size the tendency is to simply look to plant shrubs, perennials or bedding plants. But why not a tree?
A small tree, carefully selected and positioned, will add greater variety of structure, form, texture and depth to a planting scheme than can be achieved from other plants alone.
All the plants I have listed I have either growing in my garden, or in previous gardens, here in Essex. I have included trees suitable for different situations as we don’t just have a sunny or shady, dry or wet garden but a mixture of several conditions.

I have added appropriate links below for each tree. Where possible Ornamental Trees.co.uk are referenced as they are the online division, of Frank Matthews Ornamental trees, who are arguably the best tree growers in the U.K.
