The advantages of high-quality flowering trees

There are many advantages to choosing high-quality flowering trees when planning for your garden in New Zealand. High-quality flowering trees that have been well-nurtured from an early stage by a specialist supplier will have a much better chance of establishing themselves in your garden and flourishing. They’ll need a lot less care and maintenance than inferior alternatives and be much less likely to harbour disease before they get to you. In summer, these trees will provide a feast of colour, as well as welcome shade. In winter, when their leaves have dropped, they let in welcome light and warmth. Choosing high-quality flowering trees means you’ll also be able to get expert advice from the specialist suppliers on how to care for them, especially during those important early few months.  

How to choose a flowering tree that’s right for you 

There are many factors to consider when choosing the best flowering tree for your garden. These include the purpose of the tree, be it decorative or functional (for shade/screening etc). You’ll also need to be able to anticipate the height and spread it will reach when mature as well as the shape to ensure you have enough space in your garden to accommodate it. The tree’s appearance is obviously a crucial factor and being able to visualise how the colour of the tree’s flowers, leaves and the texture of the bark will work in your garden environment. Making sure the tree is suited to the climate in your local area as well as the type of soil and the amount of sunlight you get is key to its longevity.
