What is a terrace tree?
Patio Tree is a tree that provides artistic interest and utilitarian shade above the terrace. Patio trees are rooted in the ground, not in a pot or bucket. They can be placed next to the terrace or can be set to the terrace itself. It is common to see brick terraces with brick sections removed to insert a tree.
When considering a terrace tree, homeowners should be very careful with the decision. This tree will have more persistence than most domestic decors. There are several matters that should be considered, some practical and others a matter of personal taste. Surface roots can literally tear the sidewalk and terraces as they grow. Freely rooted trees, as well as many evergreens, are more likely to switch in the case of floods. This tipping can tear parts of the terrace. If you best protect the terrace area, select the roots that bury deep and strong.
Small trees with limited growth is generally the best choice. Many house owners choose dwarf trees that ra sharp maximum of 10 feet (about 3 meters). 25 feet (7.6 meters) are acceptable for larger terraces. The key is to find a tree that will be large enough to provide an adequate shadow for the area without rising over it and overtaking the area.
From an artistic point of view, the color and shape of the leaves or flowers of the terrace is important. Trees that flower with neutral colors such as white can adapt to any garden. Those with bright and hot colors show the area of the terrace. Twisted trunks and interesting shapes add architectural elements to the area. It is best to avoid the trees that will be constant clutter on the terrace areas. Those who have fallen fruit not only produce sticky mess, but also attract mistakes to an area that are not welcome guests on the summer grill.
The type of chosen patio also depends very much on the region where the home is located. Follow the local trees that can withstand the climate of the area. SomeThe most popular terrace trees are Crape Myrtle, flowering dogwood, Japanese maple and pink trees. Several other options are East RedBud, Raywood Ash, Chinese pistons, ornamental fruit, pagoda tree, service, Mayten tree, Russian olive, honey grasshopper, maple and amur and magnolia.
