Plant Type: Tree

Trees are long-lived woody plants, typically characterized by a single, tall main stem or trunk that supports branches and leaves. They form the backbone of many landscapes, providing shade, structure, and often, seasonal beauty with flowers or autumn color. Trees can range dramatically in size, from smaller ornamental varieties suitable for urban gardens to large, majestic specimens. When selecting a tree, consider its mature height and spread, its light and soil requirements, and whether it’s deciduous (loses its leaves in winter) or evergreen (retains its foliage year-round). Trees can also offer benefits like attracting wildlife and improving air quality.
