LANDSCAPE NOTES:
Fastigiate White Pine is an interesting cultivar, with the refined foliage of Eastern White Pine that is better suited to smaller properties.
SELECTED CULTIVARS: 'Arnold'--A narrow,
fastigiate form with butter-yellow fall color.
In Bala, Gwynedd, limes are being replaced with
fastigiate hornbeam.
One of my favourite shapes is properly known as "
fastigiate".
LANDSCAPE NOTES:
Fastigiate English Oak is an attractive selection, especially when a selective maintenance plan is in place.
The ginkgo has a
fastigiate form, which means that it grows like a column and so it could be easily accommodated in a small garden.
I would also recommend uprights or
fastigiate plants, as these will grow upwards and not outwards, giving the illusion of more space.
Fastigiate Has upright, usually closely arranged, branching habit; often narrow upright.
And while there is less danger of root spread with
fastigiate and columnar trees, they will certainly extend further than the crown.
ACHOOSE a
fastigiate variety with upright branches that form a narrow, columnar tree.
A good choice for narrow gardens is
fastigiate or columnar tree varieties with white flowers in late spring followed by red berries.
