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.
