It is said that having trees nearby can improve the price of a house for sale, but having trees in your garden is worth more than just money. Providing shade, aesthetics and in some cases food and fruit trees are a great way to add design and function to your garden.

Common types of garden trees
Fruit trees such as apple trees are very common in UK gardens and produce a mixture of shade and food for homeowners, they are cheap to buy and grow quite small and are easily tamed.

Conifers & Laylandai are cheap and easy to plant but, take alot of pruning and cutting during the year.

Oak trees & Pine trees, these larger trees are not for the faint hearten and can take 20 years to grow to full or even half size, often these trees will already be in a garden and are not commonly planted.

Planting a tree in your garden is something which every homeowner should do, check out your local garden centre for a range of small trees ready to be planted in gardens.
