About this collection
Trees with Stunning Foliage for Urban Landscapes
On a street, foliage does more work than flower because it is present all year and read at speed from a moving car. Jacaranda mimosifolia, Tabebuia, Lagerstroemia and Acer bring colour and fine texture, Podocarpus, Pyrus and Olea bring silvered or formal structure, and Melia azedarach, Millingtonia and Nuxia oppositifolia give lighter, more open crowns.
Foliage colour is strongly light dependent, so a species selected from a temperate photograph rarely reads the same under Gulf glare. Ask what it looks like at the destination. See urban streetscape trees for the wider street range, trees with unique bark for winter interest, and trees with vibrant new growth for seasonal flush. The single most planted species in this group is set out on its own in Jacaranda trees.
