TREE SIZE


Feathered

Trees come in a variety of sizes based on the height of the tree, the height of the clear stem and the girth measurement taken at 1m from ground level.

The size is commonly used in gardens is Standard as its transplants easily and only requires a single stake.  If larger quantities are required then cheaper feathered trees will grow away very quickly, but they will have less impact in their first few years.

Larger trees make an instant impact but require more substantial staking or even guying.  However, they often spend the first few years recovering from transplanting rather than putting on new growth.
