Description

The forms or shapes of trees vary from upright and pyramidal to vase-shaped, rounded or irregular. They may be drooping, horizontal or flat. When a tree's branches are held high they are better shade trees, because they provide a canopy of leaves and limbs for shade, while allowing passage and view underneath. Some trees have picturesque growth, giving interesting character, silhouette and winter effect.
