Shade Trees

Shade or deciduous trees are trees that shed their leaves for a part of every year and remain bare until they grow new leaves each spring. One of the spectacular things about shade trees is the wide array of colors that their leaves display before they are shed. Depending on the variety, shade trees have leaves that turn from bright yellow to crimson and many shades of orange. Some of the most popular varieties of shade trees include birches, maples, locusts, and oaks. Many deciduous trees such as cherries, crabapples, magnolias, and dogwoods flower when they are leafless or just beginning to grow new leaves. This aids the pollination process because the flowers are visible to insects and there are no leaves to obstruct the wind from carrying the pollen. Deciduous trees can achieve a variety of landscaping goals from creating shade and beauty to establishing property borders and privacy. Below are some of our most popular trees sold.
