Have you thought about planting a tree in your garden, but are unsure if your outside space has enough room?

Did you know there are many species of trees suitable for planting in smaller gardens? These come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. There are both evergreen and deciduous types also.

The Royal Horticultural Society(RHS) has a great guide on choosing the right tree for your garden, considering:

  • Height and spread
  • Season of interest
  • Deciduous or evergreen
  • Location
  • Surrounding trees and buildings

Find out more about smaller trees and which might suit your garden on the RHS website, as well as how to plant them.

Trees can also be grown in containers, suitable for patios and terraces. See guidance on the RHS website to learn more about the types of trees that are suitable to be grown in containers.
