Although the name ‘specimen trees’ seems to suggest otherwise, these trees are excellen for an average sized garden. They give your garden stature and height. Pruning will ensure that the tree stays or becomes the correct size. The branches of specimen trees start at a height of approx. 160cm. In the case of a so-called feathered tree the branches start just above the ground. One feature of this group of trees is that they have a continuous leader.

Specimen trees grow approx. 50 to 70 cm per year. They can be kept under control by pruning. The maintenance of specimen trees is not at all complicated. Instructions with regard to watering, fertilisation, position and pruning can be found on this website.
