    Trees can make or even mar a garden. Too some of them, or unsuitable kinds, can rob the garden of light and also the soil of food and moisture, making it impossible to cultivate anything else well. But several well-placed and well-chosen trees can provide a garden distinction and provide welcome summer shade.

    Significant trees, such as walnut, elm, lime, poplar, beech, willow, planks, pine and fir, are just suitable for large backyards, but there are from time to time narrow, upright-stemmed or fastigiate options large trees that could be planted in quite smallish gardens. Examples are the Dawyck Beech, fastigiate walnut and fastigiate Tulip Sapling (lirioden-dron). The Lombardy Poplar is a fastigiate form of the Black Poplar and it is branches do not undertake much room, but unfortunately its roots penetrate too far to make it a good, small, garden tree.

    Conifers, which cypress, cedar, juniper, fir, larch together with pine are familiar instances, differ from other shrubs in having narrow, sometimes needle-like leaves. Most, but not all, are evergreen. There are actually not many other evergreen trees and shrubs, so conifers do play a fairly special part in your garden, accentuated by the point that many are conical in habit unlike the more rounded shapes of broad-leaved trees. Even though naturally green leaved, a few conifers produce varieties using leaves of different colours, usually blue-grey or golden. Most conifers are permitted to branch from ground level but other trees are frequently grown on a bare trunk and are known as standards.

    Once trees are planted they are likely to remain for a large number of years, during which time no further deep cultivation can be carried out. Initial soil preparation should therefore be thorough. Planting holes must end up of ample width and it's also wise to drive a stout stake in the centre of each golf hole. Plant so that the soil mark relating to the main trunk is about 1 in. below soil level. Firm the soil thoroughly for the roots and tie the most crucial stem securely to the stake to counteract wind rocking.

    Even if trees are to be grown in grass, a cultivated circle at least 4 ft. in diameter should be maintained around each for the first few years. In addition, young trees should get fed each March using a topdressing of manure or a compound fertiliser used consistent with manufacturer's instructions. No cosmetic tree requires regular trimming, but most will benefit from a little shaping in the early stages to maintain a good balance of growth on all sides while retaining a healthy habit. Suckers - growths in the roots and from the most crucial trunk below the head of branches - should also be removed. When removing branches, cut them in close proximity to a fork or where they join a larger branch of the main trunk.
