The importance of tree sizing

Creating a visually stunning and harmonious landscape often hinges on the thoughtful selection of plant and tree sizes. Whether you’re designing a small garden or a sprawling park, understanding the impact of plant and tree size is crucial to achieving the aesthetic and functional goals of your project.

  1. Aesthetic balance: The correct sizing ensures that your landscape has a balanced look. Large trees can provide a focal point, while smaller plants can add texture and colour without overwhelming the space.
  2. Proportion and scale: Choosing plants and trees that are proportionate to the size of the area helps prevent the landscape from looking cluttered or sparse. For small gardens, opt for dwarf or compact varieties that won’t outgrow the space.
  3. Functional needs: Larger trees can provide shade, privacy and windbreaks, making them ideal for larger properties. Meanwhile, smaller plants can be used for borders, for ground cover or to fill in gaps.
  4. Growth and maintenance: Understanding the mature size of plants and trees helps with planning for future growth and maintenance. This can prevent overcrowding and reduce the need for frequent pruning.

Our tree specification guides

Here are a selection of handy guides to help you make informed choices on choosing the right trees for your project.

Tree girth and circumference

Standard trees are sold based on their girth, which is the circumference of the trunk measured 1 m above ground level.

Girth serves as a more reliable indicator of maturity compared to height, which can differ significantly among species.

Heights

The relationship between the girth and the height of deciduous trees differs significantly among varieties and even within different groups of the same variety.

Our guide provides an overview of the average height for a typical tree corresponding to each available girth.
