If you are looking for specialist nurseries or garden centres in the UK our plant finder comes complete with an easy to use A-Z list of garden plants that makes finding plants for sale online easy. To help with plant identification we include many photographs and individual plant descriptions.

Once you have found the plant you are looking for we provide easy access to growers and nurseries who have these species for sale, many with mail order or 'online' buying facilities

The Deciduous Tree Gallery and the Evergreen Tree Gallery compare colour photographs of some of the following trees.
Trees for Smaller Gardens from Royal Horticultural Society provides practical considerations and lists. Care must be taken when putting trees into gardens, since the roots radiate from the trunk to the same radius as the height of the tree. Thus, if a tree will reach 20 feet high in 10 years, then it must be planted at least 20 feet away from a building, housewall or garden wall to prevent the roots from possibly causing subsidence especially when the soil is clay (See What to do about Subsidence caused by Clay? and Case 1 - Clay on Sand Subsidence Pages for further details). Any tree planted within 3 feet of a wall will damage the foundations of that wall. If the eventual height of the tree that you wish to plant will exceed the distance from a wall, then dig a hole 8 feet wide and 3 feet deep, line it with geotextile like Plantex from Travis Perkins - or overlapping concrete slabs on the sides and bottom- to prevent the roots from exceeding that space but it does allow water and air through its spaces. Then, mix 3 portions of the Top Soil part of excavated soil with 1 portion of Spent Mushroom Compost to provide the humus, 0.5 portion of Cow Manure to provide the fertiliser and 25Kg of Calcified Seaweed to provide the Trace Elements using a cement mixer and refill that hole, firming the ground with your heels after each foot of height has been added. The bottom section of tree roots should be placed on top of the first foot of compressed soil mixture. Plant Tree with stake at 45 degrees and bound to the tree trunk at about 2 feet above ground level with a rubber tye in a figure of eight - top o of 8 round trunk, bottom o of 8 round the stake to stop the tree from falling over when it is windy. Slacken this tye at the end of a year and remove the stake and tye after 2 years. See What is Soil Texture and What is Soil Structure Pages to provide an explaination of soil creation and soil requirements to create the best soil texture and structure for plants to grow successfully. Trees can be grown in containers. If you use a Water Barrel as the container with holes in the bottom of it, then place it inside another wider, shorter, waterproof container, which has a 1 inch layer of pea shingle in it. Line the inside bottom section of the vertical barrel wall with felt to act as a wick, before inserting 1 inch pea shingle in the bottom of the water barrel to the height of the external waterproof container. Then, cover the top of the peashingle with geotextile in the water barrel and allow a foot of felt in height above this pea shingle level to wick the water in the reservoir below to be drawn up when the tree requires it. Plant the tree in the pot using the same mixture as above. Fill the outer container with water. Once a week in the Spring, Summer and until the first frost top up this water. When it rains, the excess water in the barrel, will flow out into the water reservoir and overflow that container. Through placing the Water Reservoir container on bricks, this will allow this water to drain away and the bottom of the container to be dried off by the wind. Wrap the Water Barrel in bubble wrap in the Autumn to prevent the roots from freezing in the Autumn or Winter. Remove this insulation in the Spring, perhaps by the end of April. Van de Berk on Trees by Van de Berk Nurseries (UK ISBN 90-807408-8-8) provides information on 835 species and cultivars of deciduous and conifer trees, so that the right tree for the right place can be selected. The dutch nursery has been producing trees for over 50 years for use by the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany and France, on 220 hectares. For most small gardens in the newly built suburbs in the UK where the garden is less than 240 x 240 (600 x 600) feet, it is advisable to only use dwarf rootstock fruit trees either as free-standing or as trained espalier, cordon or fan shapes against the garden fences/walls. See Top Fruit - Apple, Pear, Cherry List and Remaining Top Fruit List Pages for further details. It is worth collecting the leaves from deciduous trees in the autumn by using a rotary lawn mower on your lawn. If you do this about once a week, whilst the leaves are falling, then this will prevent the grass from being smothered and dying off. Use these collected leaves on the beds and under the hedges at a 4 inch (100mm) depth as a mulch. This will:- reduce the appearance next year of annual weeds since the sunlight cannot then get to the seeds to germinate them, feed the plants with their nutrients, and aid in preventing the ground drying out through the action of wind and sun on what would have been the bare surface of the earth.
