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.

Height and spread in 10-20yrs: 1.5m-2.5m/1m-1.5mSpecial features: Slow growing, compact weeping tree with dramatic show of pink flowers in spring, and thick canopy of heart-shaped leaves. Cercis Lavender Twist is a close relative of the Judas tree, and has the same show of bright pink pea flowers that grow directly from the trunk of the tree.Lavender Twist is a much neater size of tree, growing with a tight weeping form and to only about 2m after ten years. This is an ideal tree for a small garden and it will produce a stunning floral display in spring and a strong feature element throughout the summer and winter. In summer it has a striking canopy of heart-shaped leaves and in winter, an intricate branching structure. Lavender Twist prefers a hot position and well drained soil. It prefers soil that is not enriched with nitrogen as the roots will fix their own nitrogen and can be burned in very high nitrogen soil.
