Over the years, we 3Growbags and our wonderful resident plantswoman Louise Sims have discussed some of our favourite garden trees in our weekly blogs, and it seemed a good idea to gather our thoughts together into a serviceable reference list.
Click on a tree name to find out what we said about it (or in a few cases, what our wonderful followers said about it in the comments column!)
The list is by no means exhaustive – there’s hardly a blog goes by when one of us doesn’t mention a tree in passing😊, but you’ll find a good range here of ones that we really rate for one reason or another. Happy browsing!
