Lawn Trees

Lawn trees are trees for the lawn of the house mainly used for shade purposes.

There are certain shade trees which are not adapted for avenue planting or for framing in the house. However, these trees are very effectively used as individual specimens or in groups on the lawn. Trees of this character are very necessary for the successful execution of any landscape planting. We have in mind trees such as the Weir's Cut-Leaf Maple, Catalpa Bungei (Umbrella Tree), Weeping Willow, European White Birch, Cut-Leaf Weeping Birch, Red Bud (Cercis Canadensis), Russian Olive, Tea's Weeping Mulberry, Crimson Leaf Plum, Double-Flowering Crab, Moss Locust, American Sweet Chestnut, Black Walnut and Pecan the latter three trees are not only beautiful for landscape purposes, but they bear a nut crop of splendid quality.
