Roof Form Trees
Roof Form Trees are popular for creating a sense of structure while providing a natural garden architecture. They are an emerging popular choice due to their unique and appealing shape, and provide natural light screening, often considered more pleasing than the one-dimensional shade created by man-made canopies, yet just as effective.
Sometimes referred to as Parasol or Umbrella trees, roof form trees feature a single sleek stem leading up to a crown of thick foliage, resembling a canopy or 'roof'. In order to create this shape, the central leaders of the tree are cut away and the remaining branches are then expertly trained over a horizontal cane framework screen.
Deciduous species are a popular choice for roof form trees as they have thick foliage that offers natural shade in your outdoor space in summer yet allows light to travel through the bare branches in winter. Roof form trees are ideal for terraces and areas close to your home where an outside seating area can be placed underneath but can also form an attractive feature by creating or framing an avenue or providing shade over a garden path.
