Question
i am dividing a section of the garden but do not want to use a hedge or fence - approx 15 m. i want to use trees with rounded doming habit if possible but they should not get beyond 10 m finished height - not topierised or pleached - does not need to be evergreen. Any ideas gratefully accepted and ideas of where to get them for planting this year ( i thought about mulberry but can only get a feathered tree of 4 foot so just too small to start with ) many thanks in advance for your help.

Answer
Hello,

Here is a list of trees meeting your requirements:

allee elm (good canopy tree,can be planted at large size)

linden (street and canopy tree)

birch

maple

hybrid willow

oak

siberian elm

green ash

quaking aspen

hawthorn

The only suggestion I can give about obtaining these trees is check with a local nursery. Good luck. Let me know if I can be of further help.
