Column shapes are ideal for small gardens
There are columnar cultivars of almost every tree species. Some of these grow very tall, but remain very narrow and do not form a wide crown without any pruning measures. These shapes fit wonderfully in any garden or front yard, no matter how small, and can even serve as a privacy screen - for example, if the curious neighbor shouldn't look into the bedroom window. However, columnar trees also change their growth form: with age, most of them become ovoid or conical.
