Easycare ornamental trees
Small trees and shrubs that have a "tree-like" character add distinction and vertical interest. Be aware that labels on trees sometimes give height at ten years, often far less than the full height.^ Trees with a "weeping" growth habit are often grafted and won't become taller. Distinguished shrubs such as Nandina domestica can have a tree-like character but will never exceed a few metres in height. Japanese Acer cultivars (mostly Acer palmatum forms) come in a range of heights and, if environmentally, suited provide an exquisite addition to your garden.
