Unfortunately, as garden sizes continue to shrink, few have space for large and towering trees in their backyards. That doesn’t mean you should give up on your tree growing dreams – small trees are the solution.
Small trees – ideal for small spaces
Buddleja saligna (false olive)
This small, fast-growing evergreen tree can reach a height of 3 - 5 meters, making it ideal for small gardens or large pots. The dense canopy of narrow, grayish-green leaves, resemble an olive tree and it also produces small white flowers that attract butterflies and other pollinators. This drought-tolerant and low-maintenance tree is perfect for urban gardens.
