Trees

updated Feb 02, 2009 by Nick Thorp

Trees are plants that upon maturity reach at least 12 feet and greater, rising from a solitary woody stem. Due to their height they provide the foundational structure for landscape design. The category of trees is further divided by leaf style; broadleaf or coniferous. Examples of broadleaf trees are; maples, laurel, oak, and dogwood. Examples of coniferous with needle-like leaves are; fir, pine and yew. Trees are either deciduous or evergreen. Deciduous refers to the plants that seasonally lose their leaves due to colder weather or decreased light that comes with autumn. Evergreen foliage remains intact from season to season maintaining their display of green regardless of weather changes. Soil and site needs vary according to each plant so it is good to read plant labels or do some investigating before setting to bed unfamiliar plant varieties.
