When deciding which trees to plant in a garden to achieve the desired aesthetic, there are several things to consider. First of all, residents should consider the predicted growth rate and approximate final size of the chosen species. Certain trees, such as oaks or gum trees are much too large for most gardens and will end up posing a serious threat of uprooting your property or dropping overhanging branches. There may be some hazards such as telegraph wires which will dictate the height restrictions.   

Different species of trees require differing amounts of sunlight, nutrients and water. It is worthwhile assessing the intended location and determining the amount of available nutrients and resources. Are there other plants around that will block the sunlight or compete for valuable nutrients in the soil? The climate and temperature will also of course impact the decision. Ask yourself what you want trees on your property for. This may seem trivial, as most homeowners will simply want a bit of life and greenery surrounding their home. However, trees can also be planted in such a manner that they can double as excellent sources of shade, wind breaks or even for some added privacy.   

Finally, the fruit or flowers of a specific species will likely sway the decision. There's nothing that tastes quite like a fruit salad made from home grown ingredients. These kinds of fruit tree or herb garden projects are also great to encourage kids to learn about where their food comes from. Citrus trees such as lemon and orange are common in residential gardens as they are easy to care for and thrive in the Australian climate as long as they are watered regularly. Whether the trees are intended to bring beauty, shade or fruit to a property, each aspect can be enhanced with some occassional maintenance. Correct trimming can neaten up the appearance drastically of any property, and also have more functional purposes such as preventing the spread of disease and reducing the potential for breakage. When selecting the ideal plant life for a garden requires this much consideration, the last thing that anyone wants is for the effort to go to waste. Luckily, trees require much less maintenance than a lot of other garden elements such as flowerbeds or hedges. All it takes is a little bit of trimming and pruning several times per year to keep these trees looking healthy and thriving in their environment.  

Not only does this garden grooming keep your greenery looking inviting, but it is also very beneficial for the health of the trees. Trimming a tree's leaves and branches is akin to humans having a hair cut. If we don't regularly cut our hair, then the ends become brittle and are susceptible to breaking and splitting. Before long, the hair seems to not grow at all because it continues to break off. This is a very unhealthy habit and it shows, with hair becoming dull and lifeless before long. The only difference in this analogy is that falling tree branches have the potential to be far more dangerous than split ends. Trimming trees regularly is particularly important if the trees in question bear fruit. It goes without saying that it is important to ensure anything that is eaten is of the top possible quality and health.   

If trees just seem to not grow for you, then the trouble may be in the care, and particularly the pruning. After all, any growth is good but ideally you want to be able to tame that growth so that you can achieve a manageable adult tree.
