Ornamental Trees

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.

Pear Trees

Pears are one of the country's most popular fruits and can be eaten fresh from the tree or used in many culinary dishes. The fruits make a healthy, nutrient rich snack free from both fat and cholesterol making them ideal for lunch boxes. Pear trees are low maintenance and usually live for around 50 years but can live up to a century or more. Some pear trees are partially self fertile but to guarantee cross pollination plant in a sunny, open site with another tree from the same or adjacent flowering group. Pear trees will thrive in any fertile well drained soil.
