Trees - medium, 3m to 10m
Tall and slender or, actually, fat! The spread of a mature tree, rather than its height, is an important consideration for garden planning^. Visually, it might be more effective to have a group of three thin trees rather than one very broad one. A group of pillar apple's with flowers in spring and excellent autumn colour can make a strong feature. Ensure that you have enough moisture available if you wish to grow a plant that enjoys moist conditions or the tree will never look happy. If there is space for just one good sized tree consider one with multi-season interest such as a Cornus kousa form, the pretty Cladrastis kentukea or Sorbus thibetica 'John Mitchell'.
