Frequently Asked Questions
Which trees are best suited for smaller urban gardens?
Compact species like the Malisi Pomegranate or pruned Bay Laurel are ideal, as they provide vertical interest without an aggressive root system.
How often should I water newly planted trees?
Newly planted trees require deep watering 1–2 times per week to ensure the root ball establishes deep in the soil, especially during the first two summers.
Do ornamental trees need annual pruning?
While not always mandatory, light annual pruning during dormancy helps maintain a healthy structure, removes dead wood, and encourages better flowering.
How do I choose between a deciduous and an evergreen tree?
Evergreens provide year-round privacy and windbreaks, while deciduous trees (like the Mulberry) allow warming winter sun to reach your garden after their leaves fall.
