Fall is the best time to plant trees in your garden, and many of us are having an increasingly hard time choosing trees for our smaller yards and homes. Some quick tips on choosing trees for your home, then our favorites choices for small trees!
How to Choose Trees for the Small Garden
Golden Chain Tree
Grows 25 feet high and wide, and is covered with long chains of yellow blooms in spring to early summer.
Japanese Maple
Not as difficult as many people believe, the Japanese Maple is a stunning landscaping tree that grows slowly to 10-25 feet, depending on variety. Plant where they receive afternoon shade in hot ares and make sure they get adequate water.
Kousa Dogwood
Kousa Dogwood has a broader, more rounded shape than a traditional Dogwood, and has the benefit of being more disease resistant. Growing to 20 feet, it blooms pink or white in spring, then turns a beautiful reddish in the fall.
Crape Myrtle
The Crape Myrtle tree is a gorgeous tree that blooms all summer. It never gets over 20 feet tall, and can be pruned back to be smaller without any issues. They are fast growing, and have fruit that remains on the trees in winter, giving another seasons interest.
Saucer Magnolia
You have to love Magnolia for it’s tendency to produce beautiful, fragrant spring blooms before any foliage appears. It makes the show more special somehow! Growing to 25 feet, they are moderately fast growers that can grow in part shade as well. Tend to be multi-trunked, which we love.
