What are Full Standard Trees?

Full standard red robin trees as those with a clear, straight trunk and a well-formed canopy at the top. These trees typically have a trunk height of 180cm or more, depending on their maturity and natural growing habits.

The Appeal of Full Standard Trees

Full standard trees are highly valued in garden design and landscaping for their symmetrical shape and excellent structure. The clear trunk provides a clean, elegant look, while the canopy adds height and depth to garden spaces. These trees create a formal, structured appearance, making them ideal for lining pathways, creating focal points, or adding height to borders. The elevated canopy allows for underplanting with shrubs, perennials, or ground covers, adding layers and complexity to garden designs. This versatility makes them a favourite among landscape designers.
