Expert Tree Selection Advice
With over 40 years of experience in the horticultural industry, Ellenby has the expertise to guide clients in selecting the perfect trees for their property. Our team takes into account several factors when recommending trees to ensure the specimen is ideally suited for the client's needs and local environment.
Some of the considerations in choosing trees include:
Intended purpose - Is the tree for shade, ornamental beauty, privacy screening, etc.? This determines the appropriate size, growth habit and other traits.
Mature size - How large will the tree grow? Enough space must be allowed for the tree's eventual height and spread. This prevents problems with encroaching on buildings or overhead wires down the road.
Growth rate - Some trees grow rapidly while others are slower growing. The growth rate impacts how quickly the tree fulfills the intended purpose. Fast-growing trees also require more frequent pruning.
Soil and drainage - The soil makeup and drainage patterns significantly influence the tree's health. Selecting a tree suited for the site's soil ensures the best chance of thriving.
Climate - Cold hardiness, heat tolerance, and precipitation needs guide appropriate tree species for the local climate. Selecting the right zones and microclimates is key.
Aesthetics - The tree's visual characteristics like flowering, fall colour, bark texture and form/shape add ornamental value. The aesthetics should match the setting.
Maintenance needs - Some trees are high maintenance while others require minimal care once established. Maintenance needs should match the client's goals and resources.
Our tree experts take clients through a collaborative consultation process to understand their unique needs and priorities. We then provide science-backed recommendations on tree species that check all the boxes for each unique situation. With our depth of knowledge and experience, Ellenby takes the guesswork out of choosing the ideal trees.
