What Are Full Standard Trees?

At Harrod Outdoors, we define full standard trees as those with a clear, straight trunk, topped by a well-formed canopy. Typically, these trees have a trunk height of 180cm or more, depending on their maturity and natural growth. Full standard trees provide a strong vertical presence, making them an excellent choice for adding structure and elegance to any garden design.

These trees create shaded areas while maintaining clear views beneath, perfect for enhancing driveways, patios, and open spaces. Their structured form adds balance and sophistication, making them a versatile choice for a variety of landscape styles.
