Planting and Care for Ornamental Trees
When you're ready to bring ornamental trees into your garden, start by really getting to know your yard. Map the spots that stay wet longer and see where the sun shines and for how long. Use our Zone Finder by typing in your details on each product page to discover your Growing Zone. This is super important because trees need the right mix of sun and temperature to thrive.
Check if it loves the sun, prefers a bit of shade, or enjoys hanging out in cooler, shadier spots. You'll also find out how big it gets so you can make sure it fits just right in your garden space.
Don't wait too long to order. We can hold it for you until the planting season is just perfect for your area. Watch for your tree to arrive in a sturdy box. Open it, give it some water to drink, and it's ready for planting.
Planting is easy - dig a hole twice as wide as the roots, but keep it level with how it grew before. If your tree came without soil, soak its roots before planting to give it a great start. Fill back the hole, water well to get rid of air gaps, and you're all set!
Landscaping and Design Ideas For Ornamental Trees
Ornamental trees enhance any garden with their elegance and versatile design possibilities.
- Create a Focal Point: Plant a single, striking ornamental tree like a Japanese Maple in your garden. Its unique shape and vibrant colors grab attention.
- Line a Pathway: Use smaller ornamental trees, such as the Cherry Blossom, to line pathways. They provide a beautiful, scented walk through your garden.
- Privacy Screen: Group larger varieties like the Evergreen Pear Trees. They grow tall and dense, offering a natural privacy barrier.
Sustainability Practices For Ornamental Trees
Caring for ornamental trees can be eco-friendly and sustainable with the right practices.
- Water Efficiency: Use drip irrigation or soaker hoses to minimize water use. This targets water directly to the roots where it's needed most.
- Organic Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the base of trees. It retains moisture, suppresses weeds, and enriches the soil as it breaks down.
- Natural Pest Control: Choose beneficial insects or organic pesticides to fight pests. This avoids harming the environment and keeps trees healthy naturally.
