FAQ's for Buying Unique Trees Online

What makes a tree unique in landscaping?

What are some examples of unique trees?

What are some examples of unique trees?

Popular unique trees include the Corkscrew Willow (twisted branches), Chocolate Fountain Mimosa (weeping, dark foliage), Vanilla Twist Weeping Redbud (white blooms), and Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick (contorted form). Each offers distinct beauty not commonly found in standard landscapes.

Are unique trees difficult to care for?

Not at all! Despite their appearance, most unique trees have the same basic care requirements as traditional trees—sunlight, well-drained soil, water, and occasional pruning. Nature Hills provides full care instructions on each product page.

Can I use unique trees as focal points in my garden?

Absolutely. Unique trees are perfect for focal points because of their dramatic form, eye-catching colors, or sculptural structure. Use them near entryways, along pathways, or in garden beds where they can draw attention and spark conversation.

Do you offer dwarf or small unique trees for limited spaces?

Yes! Nature Hills offers several dwarf and semi-dwarf unique trees such as the Troll Ginkgo Tree and Papoose Sitka Spruce. These are ideal for small yards, patios, and even container gardens.
