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.

Sorbus John Bond
Whitebeam Tree
Common Name: Whitebeam TreeLatin Name: Sorbus Hemsley ‘John Bond’Soil: Most well drained soilsPosition: Full sun or partial shadeFlowering period/colour: April to May/WhiteHardiness: Fully hardyEventual height: 4m x 2mSpecial features: Brown fruits in autumn The ‘John Bond’ is a highly unusual variety of sorbus which features striking grey-green leaves that have silvery white undersides to them. The leaves twist and curl to reveal the colour variation, which adds great interest throughout the growing season. Aside from the foliage, this tree also offers pretty sprays of white flowers in spring, which later become small brown fruits in autumn. This tree grows fairly upright in habit and it is therefore the perfect choice for the smaller garden.
