How to add colour WITH TREES to improve your garden!


Believe it or not trees are not just brown and green!

There are colourful flowering trees, fruit trees, trees with attractive bark and many trees with stunning coloured leaves, ranging from coppery reds to strong variegation.

How to choose the best tree to suit your tastes is easy, just consider the following 3 steps to see which colourful trees will complement your garden:

1/ Consider what other colours are already in the garden....

•  If you have dark coloured or evergreen trees ---- Consider trees with brighter foliage in the summer to add some light and colour.

•  If you have a native mix of green trees ---- Consider anything colourful, from foliage to fruit to increase variation in colour.

•  If you have trees with coloured stems already in your garden ---- Consider using red and orange summer and autumn foliage to add some interest when the stems are not so highlighted.

•  Does your garden get much light? If not, it would be wise to stick to brighter golden greens, yellows and variegated leaves than opt for darker reds and greens.

•  If you have a limited number of trees, or indeed are starting from scratch, then the choice is very much yours and you can move on to point 2.

2/ Consider what you would like to see on a colourful tree in your garden....

•  Are you looking for coloured fruits?

•  Are you looking for coloured flower?

•  Or coloured foliage?

3/ And finally, consider what time of year you would like to see the colour in your garden....

•  Autumn

•  Winter

•  Spring

•  Summer

•  All year round (Evergreen)

Once you have considered the above points, you are ready to pop your choices into our tree selector to see which trees will fit your requirements.

With Barcham Trees you can be sure that you will get immediate results following tree planting, as our unique container grown tree production method produces trees with a complete root system that will readily establish and continue to thrive from that point onwards. Barcham Trees can guide you to making the right tree selection for your garden and provide you with trees that will give instant impact and long term results.

Continue your selection process now by visiting Barchams “Tree selection” tool...
