Trees - large, 10m plus
These are not generally suitable for domestic gardens, horse chestnuts, in particular, can cause grief to near neighbours. The beauty of oak trees, beech trees, tulip trees^ and the like are perfect for really large gardens. If such a specimen has been planted in your vicinity consider arranging your garden to incorporate this tree as a part of the view, thus getting the benefit of its beauty. Many of the major trees have smaller cultivars, the Golden locust, for example, reaches 12 metres against the 25 metres of the species. Variegated forms such as the sycamore 'Prince Handjery' and the variegated sweet chestnut are smaller and slow-growing.
