Ornamental & Shade Trees

 

Ornamental Trees
Normally less than 25 feet tall, ornamental trees are set apart by defining features such as flowers, unusual foliage or bark, an attractive branching pattern, or spectacular autumn colors. Ornamental trees can be deciduous or evergreen, and many of them provide fruit.

Shade Trees
Shade trees are typically large trees with spreading canopies that are grown specifically for shade. They reduce heating and cooling costs, increase property values and provide habitat for birds and small mammals. Some of the most popular shade trees are oaks, maples, ashes, lindens, and elms.
