Landscaping with shade trees.
An essential landscape element in every home and commercial landscaping development shade trees come in range of species and cultivars to suit just about any climate. Shade trees provide protection for other plants and of course a cooling effect.
Landscaping with shade trees is all about positioning. Locating trees where they will give the maximum shade in summer when it is most needed.
In all areas of Australia landscapers have access to shade trees that will suit different climates and soils. They are important in a number of ways and can be useful in providing micro climates for other plants.
Not all shade trees are evergreens and this is an important aspect to consider where winter sun is important for either the garden in general or where houses are better served with winter sun an. summer shade.
Large and Small Shade Trees
Some smaller types are suited to small backyards and gardens, creating not only shade but also visual appeal.
Large shade trees include Platanus x acerifolia ‘Bloodgood?’ or London Plane, while smaller growing trees that will provide shade include Japanese Maples and Crab Apples
Fast Growing Shade Trees
Especially in new gardens trees that will quickly provide shade are much sought after and faster growing types such as Paulownia Trees, Albizia julibrissin or ‘Silk Tree’ and Fraxinus rotundifolia ‘Raywood?’ or Claret Ash are a great addition to any garden.
