Trees That Will Work In A Small Yard

12/17/2019

Even small yards can be a place for an assortment of incredible trees offering shade or fruit. There is nothing better to have in your landscape than a beautiful, tall tree.

Trees are just amazing. From a single small seed, you can grow a fairly huge air-purifying, hydraulic, solar-powered equipment that does everything it needs from water, soil, and sunshine.

Science is fantastic, and technology is great, but science has never created a tree by nothing but planting a seed or taking a cutting (clone). Its nature then takes over and grows a tree based on its genetic makeup based on its internal design.

Below are some trees that will work in a small yard.

Serviceberry: Numerous species are available with various heights going from shrub-sized to small tree. Some produce delicious fruits after the aromatic white flowers are pollinated.

Crape Myrtle: Trees are compatible with full sun locations, as well as being heat tolerant, and make showy flowers even in lousy soil.

Japanese Maple: These are common landscape trees and with good reason. Its bold colors and little statue can be an incredible accent in a bit of space. Japanese maple trees come in hundreds of selections with a vast range of colors, growth habits, and leaf types. Most are compatible for partially shaded locations. Even though the flowers are modest, the fall leaf colors make up for that. 

Apple: A full-sized apple tree could overwhelm a small yard. However, dwarf apple trees remain at or below eight feet while generating a good-sized crop of full-sized fruit. There are around hundreds of varieties of apple trees, lots of them grafted onto dwarf rootstock which keeps the trees littler while the upper portion dictates the type and quality of fruit.

From sweet summer apples to late season apples, there are varieties for just about anyone’s preference. While some types can still grow bigger than intended getting the tree pruned by a tree specialist can keep it in check.

These favorite fruit trees are available in smaller sizes that could fit a small yard: apricots, pears, cherries, peaches, and more.
