The Most Beautiful Garden Trees – A Consummate Natural Show

Garden is not just a space dedicated solely to flowers, vegetables and some fruit trees. Just as landscaper recommend, the whole oasis behind your house has to be a diverse place featuring some fine visual accents, such as decorative trees that bring extra color and shape into a garden. We have compiled a list of the most beautiful garden trees to inspire you in decorating a personalized space of tranquility.

The redbud, with all its species, is the first on our list, with its purple bark and beautiful pink-violet flowers which resembles the ones of the locust tree. It is a very popular decorative tree in parks and gardens while its pod like fruit are rich in tannin, with strong astringent role. The tree does well in full sun. Its flowers grow on the trunk, offering a rare splendid sight.

 

The Japanese and the dwarf Korean lilacs are two other decorative small trees that will personalize your garden with their very fragrant cluster flowers. Both of them are ideal choices for small spaces, but their elegant presence compensates for this.

Last, but not least, the Japanese maple tree, with all the different species, one of the most popular decorative tree. Atropurpureum is that has deeply lobed, purple foliage throughout the spring and summer. In the autumn, the foliage turns vivid crimson red creating a wonderful, seasonal canvas. This Japanese maple does best when planted in a sheltered position avoiding heavy, waterlogged soils, and will provide vibrant color for most of the year.

This next example is a true wonder of nature. The red Cappadocian maple tree which produces a burst of rich color in spring which transforms to green in the summer and then boasts stunning golden autumn color.

Do not forget about the evergreens, those trees that face weather in all seasons. Dwarf conifers can be truly compared to garden stalwarts. One way to capitalize on these evergreens is to make them anchors in mixed plantings that change from season to season. Compact evergreens provide attractive stability in a bed or border as bulbs, perennials, and annuals come and go. Conifers with all types of contours, from low mounds to pyramids, can be used in this way.
