 Deciduous & Shade Trees
Deciduous trees are trees that lose their leaves in the autumn. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Tree canopies provide shade for your home or garden. Some tree canopies are dense enough to provide full shade and other canopies have lighter foliage that provides dappled shade. Most deciduous shade trees grow large, so it is important to select a planting location with adequate space for the mature size of the tree. Click here to see the Deciduous Tree Gallery.
