A Guide to the Best Mixed Hedges Ideas
This post is also available in: Español (Spanish)Hedges play a crucial role in landscape design, particularly now when privacy buffers are essential. Homeowners are really protecting their spaces from curious eyes. Hedges, while preferred for separating or dividing areas, also offer protection against intrusions and air and sound pollution. Given this topic’s popularity, we frequently receive the following inquiries: How to plant a perfect mixed hedge? Depending on the nature of the landscape project, you can take several crucial steps to create your ideal hedge. For starters, select the appropriate trees. Choose plants that are well-suited to your climate, soil, and the specific requirements of your mixed hedge (height, width, growth rate, etc.). Space them correctly in your landscape plan; this is critical to avoiding overcrowding. A general formula you can look into is to divide the mature spread of the plant in two. So, for instance, if the mature spread is 6 feet, you should space the trees a few feet apart. For more information and a specification guide for our trees, check our specification guide charts. Finally, maintenance, proper pruning, watering, and fertilizing are important. By following these guidelines, you can create a beautiful and functional mixed hedge that provides privacy, defines boundaries, and enhances the aesthetics of your landscape. Mixed Hedges However, with that in mind, we do know that landscaping trends such as mixed hedges are moving towards more sustainable, visually interesting, and multifunctional designs. By incorporating these trends, homeowners and designers can create beautiful, environmentally friendly, and low-maintenance privacy hedges. By adding two or more trees to your hedges, your design will benefit from a healthier and more resilient outcome. If one tree struggles due to climate change or other factors, the others can continue to flourish, guaranteeing the hedge’s continued health and functionality. Plus, since you can play around with textures, colors, and growth habits, it’s bound to be a lot more interesting. The best plants for mixed hedges – Ideas So, let’s address the question: Which plants are good for mixed hedges? There’s no definitive answer to this. Everything depends on the specific project and landscape goal. With a lot of creativity and experience at TreeWorld Wholesale, we’ve managed to pick some of our favorite combinations as a hopeful guide for you! 1.The best-performing hedge combination: Calophyllum Brasiliense and Bayrum Tree Two Caribbean natives have conquered the South Florida landscape, filling our first spot of mix-and-match hedges. Their lush green foliage, alluring beauty, and top performance allow them to fit into various landscape designs. On one hand, the Bayrum tree (Pimenta Racemosa) has a dense, columnar crown, providing structure, while the Calophyllum brasiliensis (Brazil Beautyleaf) has a dense, rounded crown, adding volume. This allows for a captivating blend of these two evergreen trees that complement each other. Plus, the fast at-first growth rate of Calophyllum brasiliensis allows the hedge to settle while the Bay rum tree contributes to the structure. 2. Airtight Windbreak: Norohnia emarginata + Clusia rosea The combination of Norohnia emarginata (Madagascar Olive) and Clusia rosea (Pitch Apple Tree) creates a tight barrier. As they balance themselves out, they achieve a […]

Trees with peeling bark! Engaging year-round

And even though we sometimes overlook them because we become accustomed to their beauty. Consequently they assist landscape architects in reimagining spaces that will renew themselves every day. Adding trees with peeling bark to the landscape will make the design stand out. Correspondingly it will provide something special and interesting bound to become an original feature. Exfoliating barks are real four-season plants that add a unique aesthetic element to the landscape on a year round basis. Aiming to pique the viewer’s interest with a variety of colors and textures. What kind of trees have peeling bark? Trees with exfoliating bark are those whose bark peels off the trunk naturally. Although certain trees that have peeling bark the moment they emerge. Other trees may take many years to reach full maturity before they begin to produce their peeling-off effect. Why are trees with exfoliating trunks relevant and appealing in landscape design? Exfoliating trunks, characterized by their peeling bark, provide a unique and ever-changing visual element to the landscape. As the peeling process reveals layers of different colors and textures, creating a dynamic appearance that changes with the seasons and as the tree matures. The peeling layers of bark will often expose underlying bark of various hues. This can range from creamy whites and silvers to rich browns and reds.

Additionally, trees with peeling bark frequently resemble natural sculptures, with their textured surfaces creating intricate patterns. These patterns can be especially striking when the bark is more visible due to the absence of leaves. Create a textural contrast with trees that have peeling bark In a landscape design, textural contrast is key to creating visual interest.

Understanding the Science of Landscape Planning Design
Posted on: 30 MayThis post is also available in: Español (Spanish)Landscape design is a science! Of course, it is alluring, engaging, and visually appealing as it definitely involves artistic minds and a thorough process to create enjoyable landscapes. However, in order to achieve that harmony, you need methodology, knowledge, and extensive landscape planning. There is an order to the visual relationships between elements, and an intrinsic understanding is required to consider scale, colors, textures, and shapes. It calls for discipline to accomplish not only the clients’ desires but also to create experiences that inspire outdoor exploration, foster relationships, and promote sustainable dynamics. So, even though many people might think of landscaping as simply gardening on a larger scale, it’s much more complex and subtle than that. The science of landscaping involves numerous aspects, including creative vision, environmental awareness, and an in-depth botanical understanding. This process requires more than just planting plants and trees; careful planning and knowledge of the local ecosystem are also necessary. How to Plan a Landscaping Design We receive this question regularly. Even though we are not landscape designers, we frequently work with them. We will discuss some of the important factors to consider when planning a landscape. But it’s important to say that it is always best to hire a professional landscape architect. Site Analysis and Concept Development Comprehensively assessing and evaluating the physical characteristics of the terrain is the first step in landscape planning. Factors such as topography, soil type, climate, existing structures, and the types of trees that are likely to thrive in the area are all included. Understanding the ecological and cultural role of the tree is a must. In order to forge a concept design that will meet client expectations and guarantee functionality without compromising aesthetics, the sketching process starts after completing this step. Sustainable Designs Design is a holistic approach to the structured and collaborative development of new solutions, knowledge about them, and their use and environment. Thus, the process of creating detailed designs in landscape planning includes tree materials, hardscape elements, and, of course, tree selection, which plays a crucial role. First and foremost, trees are essential to a landscape’s visual appeal and contribute to the overall concept. Choosing the right trees defines the character and ambiance of an area, whether it’s creating a serene, shady retreat or a vibrant, colorful garden. Different shapes, sizes, colors, and textures can complement architectural styles, create focal points, maintain privacy, or frame areas. Tree Selection in Landscape Planning But choosing the right trees also means promoting ecological balance. Landscapers like Raymond Jungles demonstrate that careful consideration of trees is crucial, as they enhance the landscape’s beauty and serve as its structural backbone. Each tree is chosen with a purpose: trees support local wildlife by providing habitat and food for birds, insects, and other animals. They modify a site’s local climate by providing shade, which reduces energy costs. Trees naturally absorb pollutants, filtering the air while also playing a critical role in capturing carbon dioxide, thereby mitigating climate change. The southern live oak (Quercus Virginiana) serves as a great example. Tree knowledge also plays an important role […]

Beyond Container Size. All you need to know about tree growth rates
This post is also available in: Español (Spanish)When you’re in the process of buying a tree, it might be intuitive to think that the size of the container directly dictates the quality or specifications of the tree. However, in our business, we urge you to look beyond the container. Here’s why! Not all trees grow the same, and at the same time. It is important to understand that each tree has its own unique growth pattern, and in TreeWorld, as in nature, there’s a vast diversity of trees. In our case, we have over 300+ varieties we deeply care for, and we go the extra mile to provide the best growing conditions. Tree Growth Rate Having said that, it’s important to analyze how growth rates differ between species. For instance, the Guaiacum officinale, commonly known as Lignum Vitae or “tree of life,” is a slow-growing tree. It’s one of the most well-known species from the Guaiacum genus and is notable for its extremely hard and dense wood. It grows slowly, often taking many years to reach maturity. Slow Growth Rate Trees With the tree of life, we have one of our all-stars at the nursery. We take immense pride and care in our tree farm nurseries in Homestead. Overseeing everything from the seed through the full growing process. If you’ve ever visited our nursery, you’ve witnessed the magic of our Guaiacum Officinale tree rows. With immense love and dedication, we nurture them, ensuring they receive well-drained soils, appropriate watering tailored to the tree’s stage, and the right amount of light for them to thrive. Ultimately, they grow into our standard size containers, starting at 25 gallons, and for this particular tree, they can even expand to 300 gallons according to our standards. Fast Growth Rate Trees On the other hand, we have fast-growing trees. A popular group is the ‘Cassias’, which are beautiful ornamental flowering trees. Growing several feet per year under the right conditions. Nonetheless, this is a keyword as we address the subject, given that Cassias thrive best in full sun and well-draining soil. While they’re moderately drought-tolerant after establishment. Regular watering during their initial growth is beneficial. Occasional pruning after the flowering period helps maintain their shape, and while they’re generally, pest-resistant, regular inspection is wise, especially during early stages. Moderate Growth Rate Trees Another tree growth rate that can mark the pace is a moderate rate, like the Calophyllum Brasiliensis, best known as the Brazil Beautyleaf, native to Central and South America. It’s a high-performance tree that requires understanding its native habitat and ensuring that its basic needs are met. Especially when grown outside its natural range. Specifically, Calophyllum Brasiliensis thrives in well-draining soils. In early stages, it’s crucial to ensure the tree receives adequate watering. Once established, it can tolerate periods of water stress but will benefit from regular watering in extended dry periods. For optimal growth, it prefers full sunlight, and given its expansive canopy, proper spacing is essential to ensure quality growth. Having said that, in a tree farm nursery like ours, it’s important to understand each species. This is one of the […]
