Ornamental Trees FAQs
What is an ornamental tree?
Ornamental trees are named such because of their aesthetic value. They are trees renowned for their beauty, often attributed to their unique flowers and fragrance. However, an ornamental tree can be considered such simply for having an interesting colouring, shape, or seasonal bloom.
Popular ornamental trees range from magnolia to willow and from eucalyptus to conifers, so you’re sure to find the perfect colour and shape for your garden.
How big do ornamental trees grow?
Depending on the species of tree you choose, ornamental trees can grow to be anywhere between 6 feet to 30 feet tall. Despite their tall stature, ornamental trees don’t typically provide a large amount of shade due to their flowering blooms as opposed to leafy branches.
What is the most popular ornamental tree?
The popularity of ornamental trees truly depends on individual taste. Consider the aesthetic appeal you wish to gain from your tree – is there a particular colour or shape that you’d like to add into your garden?
If you find yourself marvelling at blossoms every spring, then our cherry blossom trees may prove to be the perfect tree for your garden. If you love the appearance of scarlet red leaves, then our wonderful varieties of red maple tree will illuminate your garden with their fiery frondescence.

Where do bay trees grow best?
When choosing an ideal location for your bay tree which is native to the Mediterranean region, you want to choose a sunny or partially shaded area of your outside space. Make sure it is protected from winds and extreme cold weather and perhaps place it against a wall so it isn’t exposed to these elements.
What are bay trees good for?
As well as looking beautiful and being a great addition to the design of your garden or porch, the leaves of this tree can be used to improve the flavour of many dishes, particularly stews, soups, and sauces. They can be used when dried or fresh, however, when leaves are dried they bring more flavour.
Will a bay tree survive winter?
Because bay trees are native to the Mediterranean region, they need extra care and attention in winter. To keep your bay tree alive over the cold months, you should:
- Temporarily move it to a warm, covered area such as indoors or in a greenhouse.
- Cover it with a frost protection jacket.
- Keep the compost you apply to it moist from autumn to spring.
