Fastigiate Trees are your Landscaping Best Friend

In urban landscaping, fastigiate trees are a landscaper’s friend. With the move to higher density living, bigger houses on smaller blocks and outdoor spaces that pack more in, narrower, more upright greening solutions are in high demand.

	Ginkgo biloba 'Lemonlime Spire' Dwarf Maidenhair Tree This is a smaller fastigiate form of Ginkgo with lime-green summer foliage that is creased in appearance. In autumn, it presents with clear, yellow foliage. As a male clone of the species, its fruit does not carry an unpleasant scent. Only growing to 5 tall, this tree is both narrow and compact in form.
	Betula pendula fastigiata Upright Silver Birch Tree This tree has an unusual growth habit, the branches intertwine with each other and grow inwards thus producing an erect habit. The leaves are triangular shape and have a serrated edge. They change from green to butter yellow in autumn. The ornamental white trunk sheds in sheets paper thin. It has deep black fissures in the lower trunk. This tree looks fantastic during its dormant period.
	Pyrus calleryana 'Capital' Capital Ornamental Pear Tree This tree has a narrow growth habit with luscious shiny green leaves that hang vertically from branches. An attractive curl in the foliage adds further interest and the slender, columnar shape lends itself well to tight spaces. In autumn, leaves turn a purpley-red colour and spring brings a beautiful display of lovely white flowers followed by small, russet coloured fruits.
	Acer platanoides 'Crimson Sentry' Upright Crimson Norway Maple Tree This is a flashy crimson foliaged maple with dense upright branching. It has a compact growth habit with large crimson leaves in summer turning to gold and orange in autumn. Adds great colour contrast foliage. This is a small tree with grey-black bark that is lightly textured.
	Banksia integrifolia 'Sentinel' 'Sentinel' Banksia Tree This is a small shrub with medium frost tolerance for use as a dense narrow flowering screen. Preferring full sun to light shade it produces upright lemon brush-like flowers from late summer to winter. Responds well to pruning.
	Cupressus sempervirens 'glauca' Italian Pencil Pine Tree The Italian Pencil Pine is an excellent, low maintenance choice for creating a formal look in areas where space is limited. This variety has a dense, upright, columnar growth habit and requires very little to no pruning to maintain its shape. Foliage is aromatic with a blue-green shade and produces less fruit than many other pencil pine selections.
	Photinia x fraseri 'NP01' Thin Red ™ Thin Red Photinia Tree Thin Red™ Photinia is a narrow hedging tree with beautiful red new-growth foliage. Displays of small white flowers can be seen in mid to late spring.
	Callistemon viminalis 'CV01' Slim™ Slim Bottlebrush Tree This is a narrow growing Bottlebrush great for tight planting spots. It provides all the usual colour and texture qualities of Callistemon, flowering from spring to autumn but with the benefit of being able to use to as a compact alternative in positions that are narrower. Flowers are red and numerous over the warmer months. Of course it can also be used as a screen or hedge to attract birds, bees and butterflies into the garden.
	Syzygium australe 'SAN01' Straight and Narrow ™ Straight and Narrow Lilly Pilly Tree This Lilly Pilly is a better form than the narrow growing 'Pinnacle' due to its dense foliage and naturally columnar form. Foliage is a mid-green colour and fruits are reddish-pink. As the name suggests it is a great selection for narrow spaces.
