Trees For Smaller Gardens

Over the past 30 years or so Australian gardens have been getting smaller as average block sizes become more compact. This has led to a great demand for compact trees, suitable for smaller modern gardens. The good news is there’s a wonderful range ideal for planting in smaller gardens and some can even be grown in large tubs. As trees are the largest and longest lived plants in the garden it is worth taking extra care when planting them. Dig a hole at least as deep as the rootball and twice as wide. Mix in Dawson’s Soil Improver with your existing soil at the rate of 1 part of soil improver to 2 parts soil. See our Planting guide for further planting tips.
