Collection: Trees

Unique trees bring beauty and individuality to any garden, offering shapes, colors, and textures that stand apart. From the lovely fall colors of the ‘Pre Bonsai’ tree to the striking silhouette of the Lion’s Head Japanese Maple, these living works of art turn a yard into a place of discovery. At Singing Tree Gardens, we grow both rare trees and timeless favorites so every gardener can find something special. Whether you’re looking for a small tree in a small space or a massive tree like the giant sequoia, each offers unique characteristics for any landscape. 

Unique Trees to Explore

The world of tree species is remarkably diverse, spanning the northern hemisphere and beyond. The Marina Strawberry Tree with its peeling red bark, the striking metasequoia with its graceful form, and elegant dogwoods all bring unique beauty to gardens. For those drawn to larger sizes, the giant sequoia ranks among the largest organisms on Earth, with immense height and massive trunks that create awe. Beloved choices like the ginkgo and Japanese maples add seasonal brilliance, while magnolias and styrax enrich the landscape with flowers and fragrance. Planting them in your own space is not only a way to create a beautiful landscape but also a way to connect to global diversity. These remarkable species mirror the diversity found across American forests, from the towering white pine groves of the Northeast to the iconic sequoias of the West.

Trees in Culture and Home

Throughout history, the tree has been a powerful symbol in human life. Families decorate with a Christmas tree each winter, a traditional tree like fir or spruce carrying centuries of meaning. In gardening, ornamental trees hold special value. Their flowers, foliage, or form add a spectral dimension, transforming outdoor spaces into retreats. Whether planting in a small space or choosing a massive tree, it’s important to match the climate and native habitat. Planning includes checking for well-drained soil and allowing room for height and spread of the trunk. It also involves considering the root system and selecting between deciduous or evergreen leaves for year-round structure.

Can I plant a massive tree in my yard?

A massive tree such as a giant sequoia is best suited for open landscapes. For a small space, we recommend dwarf conifers or smaller tree species.
