The following pages cover an assortment of trees suitable for planting in town centre areas. In the selection of these trees factors such as ornamental value, hardiness and maintenance were taken into consideration. In general these are trees that do not require high levels of maintenance. Of course, the centre is usually that part of the town or city that receives most attention. That means that maintenance is likely to be more intensive. How much maintenance is required is subject to a number of factors, such as the number of trees per m2 and the size of the trees at the time of planting. Therefore, it is essential when setting up a maintenance plan, to also map the budget needed for maintenance.

The trees we have selected are listed below. Please see each page for more detailed information, including our recommended variety.
