very garden deserves a tree and spring is
the perfect time to plant one. Trees can
bring you flowers in spring and summer,
radiant leaf colour in autumn, plus interesting
bark and stems in winter. Trees can be multi-
functional, too – screening an unattractive
view or helping to filter noise and air pollution
if you live near a busy road. They also benefit
nature significantly: providing pollen for insects
and shelter for birds, and converting air-borne
carbon dioxide into oxygen. Finally, if you’re
concerned about your tree growing too tall,
don’t worry: many trees are suitable for the
smallest of gardens, and most trees can be
pruned regularly to keep them compact.
