Ornamental trees are a wide-ranging and highly diverse collection of trees, and they are broadly defined as trees that do not have the primary purpose of bearing fruit. In fact, ornamental trees are so wide-ranging that the exact number of species is not known, but it is estimated that there are over 100,000 different species of non-fruiting trees.
In fact, there are so many different types of trees that the total number of trees collectively accounts for around a quarter of all plant species. It is thought that trees have existed on the earth for around 370 million years, and that over time they evolved to get their distinctively long trunk to compete for sunlight.
Trees have also been a pivotal factor in the survival of humans; not only from their ability to filter our air, but also for their other uses, like for burning for fire wood or for making hunting tools out of. For the average gardener today however, trees are often planted for much more aesthetic reasons.
Here, you'll find a wide selection of ornamental trees for sale.

Rhus glabra Laciniata
Stag's Horn Sumach/Fire Fern
Common Name: Stag's Horn Sumach/Fire Fern Latin Name: Rhus glabra 'Laciniata' Soil: Moist, well-drained soil Position: Full sun Flowering period/colour: Summer/ Yellow-green Hardiness: Very hardy Eventual height/spread: 3m/4m Special features: Bold autumn colours of vivid red and bright orange. Sometimes known as the 'Fire Fern', this eye-catching tree gets its common name from its fern-like foliage which turns to fiery shades of red and orange in autumn. The long, feathery, fern-like leaves are held on spreading branches and are a solid green colour in spring and summer: the stems are deep red and contrast beautifully with the leaves, which adds further interest. In summer, yellow-green conical flowers appear and these turn to bright red fruits in autumn. This deciduous tree is very hardy and will thrive in any sunny spot in the garden. We would recommend planting it alongside the Cytisus battandieri as the silvery-green leaves of the Cytisus make the perfect foil for the fiery foliage of the Rhus Laciniata.
