Umbrella shape

Design element and shade provider

Umbrella-shaped woody plants are not only an aesthetic highlight in the garden or on the property, but also offer numerous practical benefits. Thanks to their expansive crown, umbrella-shaped shrubs provide pleasant shade and create cool, sheltered areas - ideal for seating areas, patios or play areas. By growing the trees in width rather than height, sufficient space can be utilised underneath. This makes them perfect for smaller gardens, courtyards or urban areas. Whether as a stylish avenue, lively pergola or decorative solitary element - umbrella trees can be used to create impressive effects and green oases of well-being.
