Trees are truly breathtaking in their diversity, varying not only in height, shape and form but also in ornamental qualities, with a wonderful range of foliage, flowers, fruits, and even bark to suit any garden setting. The passing of the seasons provides ever-changing interest, as deciduous trees come into bright new leaf, flower, fruit and finally shed their colourful foliage. Evergreens, however, keep up their show throughout the year. Even a single tree can add height and structural interest to a garden, however small; it acts as a living sculpture at the same time as introducing a sense of permanence. Most trees also need little or no maintenance once established. You're sure to find the perfect tree for your garden from the list below.

Growing your own fruit ranks highly in the satisfaction stakes- and most, with attractive blossom in spring and ripening fruits at harvest, are as ornamental as they are useful. With talk of 'organic produce' and the miles food has to travel before it reaches you, there is no better way of guaranteeing the origin of your fruit than growing it in your own back garden. Another great way of helping to reduce your carbon footprint!

Among the conifers are some of the smallest and certainly biggest of living woody plants.

They can also provide privacy from neighbours and passers-by, give shelter from prevailing winds and create a good deterrent to un-wanted visitors. They can achieve a formal appearance, such as yew of box, or may be chosen for their colourful foliage, flowers or large thorns.
