William Blake once wrote, “To the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.” Is not one’s own garden the ideal place to unleash that imagination, to achieve a portrait of textures, shapes, colors and fragrances to reflect in some way the unique vision and personality of the owner? How could that be done without at least the consideration of a few showstopping trees for your Main Line residential landscape?
The following are a few key tree specimens highlighted in lovely landscaping design:
Flowering cherry ‘Hally Jollivete’ – Absolutely breathtaking when ensconced in its airy light-to-white pink flowers in early spring, this
tree has a lot to recommend itself. Besides offering such a lovely spring show, it has pleasant green foliage throughout the remainder of the growing season, and, when they fall, the branches provide quite pretty winter interest. Petite in size, this gem can find a home in almost any garden situation.

River birch ‘Cully’ – This medium-to-tall tree is great for specimen plantings, definitely one of the best showstopping trees for your Main Line residential landscape. The habit is rounded with pretty, glossy, green leaves which change to yellow during the autumn, and offers all-season interest with its distinctive creamy-toned peeling bark.
Japanese cedar ‘Yoshino’ – Evergreens lend a consistent, restful atmosphere to a garden, and this is one of the best. Conical in 
shape and slow growing, this Japanese cedar is also resistant to pest and fungal problems. Planted in groups, it makes a wonderful, long lasting, living privacy fence.
Ornamental trees bring another dimension to the garden space, a depth and richness–and feeling of permanence–that would be lost if gardens were restricted merely to shrubs and plants.
The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has recommended these trees, “… as exceptional plants for the home gardener and professional landscaper.” Expand your garden tapestry with the inclusion of some showstopping trees for your Main Line residential landscape. A parade of beautiful seasons to come beckons!
