Ornamental Trees
Smaller trees up to 250cm in height are measured in terms of their height, while mature trees are measured by their girth (or circumference of the stem). All trees listed on the website are given an estimated height and spread in 20 years’ time, but please note a happy and healthy tree will continue to grow for years afterwards.
Please note pot sizes given are an approximation and may vary slightly.
How to measure smaller trees up to 250cm - Height
For most small trees including: Single Stem, Bushes, Feathered, Multi-stem, Clump:
Using a tape measure, measure the height from the bottom of the stem where it meets the soil, up to the highest point of the tree. For Top-Grafted & Lollipop trees: Overall height is measured as above. A height next to this form (e.g. TG@45cm) refers to the length of clear stem. This is measured from the bottom of the stem where it meets the soil, up to the graft or lowest branches of the crown.
