How to choose trees for your garden

Explore ornamental trees, trees by size and trees by soil type to narrow your search. The FAQs below cover how to choose between deciduous and evergreen trees, which varieties suit small gardens, the best time to plant and how to care for a newly planted tree.

What is the best tree for a small garden?

The best trees for small gardens are compact or slow-growing varieties. Japanese Maples (Acer palmatum) suit borders and large containers; Prunus 'Snow Fountains' brings weeping blossom without taking over a bed. Columnar forms like Prunus 'Amanogawa' grow tall but narrow, making them a practical choice where space is limited.

When is the best time to plant a tree?

The best time to plant a tree is autumn or early spring, when the soil is moist and roots can establish before the growing season. Bare root trees are planted between November and March during dormancy. Container-grown trees can go in at any time of year, though summer planting requires consistent watering until the tree is established.

What is the difference between deciduous and evergreen trees?

Deciduous trees shed their leaves in autumn and regrow them in spring, providing seasonal interest through blossom, summer foliage and autumn colour. Evergreen trees retain their foliage year-round, giving consistent structure and screening. Both have their place: deciduous species often offer more seasonal drama; evergreens provide reliable cover through winter.

How do I look after a newly planted tree?

To look after a newly planted tree, focus mainly on watering: trees need regular moisture during dry spells until roots establish. Staking is important for standard trees in exposed positions to prevent wind rock. Apply a mulch of well-rotted compost around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping it clear of the trunk.

What trees grow well in containers?

Trees that grow well in containers include Japanese maples, bay standards and compact fruit trees such as patio apples and columnar cherries. Choose a container at least 40cm wide, use a loam-based compost and water regularly. Feed annually in spring and re-pot every two to three years to maintain health.
