Red and purple foliage trees
Placing trees of these colours needs great tutelage , but their colours mingled with the multitude of others in fall are effective and of great beauty , they do not blend well with the normal greens , particularly if used in amount . They should therefore be used sparingly in closing off at points where they will of necessity hitch the eye .

Fastigiate trees
To the botanist , the word fastigiate means ‘ with parallel , vertical , bunch up branches ’ . It has ! row become more wide used in a more generalized sense for trees with narrow diadem . All those observe are derived from natural sport and do not occur honest from seed ( if that is produce ) . They are propagated as cultivar . They in the main want careful pruning when youthful to ensure the necessary vertical emergence .
Their placing involve great care , as they of necessity have an affected look . Fastigiate conifer accord well when planted in the veritable pattern of courtly gardens — the utilisation of the true cypress tree in the great Italian gardens of the Renaissance . Fastigiate Tree can be skillfully used , too , for adding a steadying perpendicular chemical element to a steeply slop web site .
