Deciduous Trees
Deciduous trees come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, forms, colors and textures. Deciduous trees are those that loose their leaves each fall, go dormant for the winter, and leaf out again in spring. They provide us with beauty, shade, and shelter, and are an integral part of our landscapes.
In addition to their beauty, trees benefit us in many ways. They can shade our homes and yards in summer, reducing air conditioning needs. They can reduce cold winter winds, reducing heating costs. They provide food and habitat for birds and wildlife, and help filter dust and pollution from the air. Trees also reduce soil erosion, recycle nutrients, and exchange carbon dioxide for the oxygen we need. Perhaps most important to many people, deciduous trees provide visual structure and canopy, contributing greatly to the aesthetics of our landscape designs.
While many trees are quite tall at maturity, we also utilize a good deal of smaller, ornamental trees in our landscapes. Trees typically have one main trunk, or a "clump" of 2 to 5 stems, or trunks. Some large shrubs can be pruned into tree form; that is, branches are pruned off the lower part of the main "stems" or "trunks" so that there is a canopy formed by the shrub's foliage. Mature trees add beauty and value to our landscapes. They can raise a home's value by 5-10% or more, and generally make our communities more pleasant places to live. However, for a tree to look its best, it must be cared for properly.
