Specimen Trees

What Is a Specimen Tree?

Although specimen trees often have dramatic appearances, any tree that draws attention fits the bill. These trees steal the spotlight because of their:

• Stand-alone positioning.
• Impressive size.
• Showy foliage.
• Unusual color.
• Textured bark.
• Interesting shape.

Specimen trees add a charming and unexpected visual appeal to outdoor settings. Our inspiring collection has something for everyone. Whether you love the majestic grace and sweeping beauty of a Weeping Willow or prefer the vibrant colors and exquisite foliage of a Weeping Cherry Snow Fountain, we have what you need to create a dramatic focal point.

Choose a Specimen Tree for Your Outdoor Setting

Although any tree can be a specimen tree if planted in a space where it is the star attraction, some species work better than others. For example, specimen evergreen trees look good all year round. Blue Atlas Cedar or Cryptomeria Radicans are reliable choices.

Specimen trees must be planted where they will stay healthy, thrive and be the showpieces that they are intended to be. Consider the tree’s mature size and appearance to ensure you plant a delightful feature that will look perfect for years. Will the species you choose need regular pruning? In addition to looking good, do you need it to fulfill a function, such as providing shade or a habitat for birds? Once you know the answers, it is time to select a gorgeous tree from our collection!
