Find your perfect tree.

A central species in the Japanese garden tradition, it combines fine, progressively layered branching with palmate leaves that transform the expression of the crown through the year. The botanical form, with green foliage, keeps a more natural character than the many cultivars selected from this species.

One of the classic purple-leaved forms of the Japanese maple, it stands out for its broad, densely coloured crown, which moves from the bronze-red of spring to wine tones and, finally, intense red in autumn. Unlike the Dissectum types, it keeps broad, palmate leaves, giving the crown greater visual presence.

One of the most consistent purple selections of the Japanese maple, ‘Bloodgood’ holds its dark red foliage through the summer more reliably than ‘Atropurpureum’. The relatively narrow, upright crown brings an intense mass of colour without the lateral spread characteristic of other mature forms.

A variegated cultivar with a narrow, luminous crown, ‘Butterfly’ produces small grey-green leaves irregularly edged with creamy white and pink. As the distribution of colours varies from leaf to leaf, the crown takes on a fragmented, dynamic texture reminiscent of a cluster of butterflies.

One of the most vigorous cultivars in the Dissectum group, ‘Garnet’ combines deeply cut foliage with a stronger, more upright structure than most weeping Japanese maples. The outer branches descend in successive layers, forming a crown like a wine-red dome or cascade.

A historic Japanese cultivar that gave its name to the Dissectum group, it is distinguished by green leaves divided almost to the main veins and by a low, mushroom-shaped crown. The combination of lacy foliage and cascading branches produces a light, fluid structure that is recognisable even from a distance.

‘Fireglow’ owes its name to the way light passes through the red-purple foliage, producing a particularly intense scarlet glow. More compact and luminous than ‘Bloodgood’, it offers a strong colour presence without reaching the same scale at maturity.

Considered one of the most expressive Japanese maples in autumn, ‘Osakazuki’ turns its broad green crown into a luminous mass of scarlet red and orange. The large, seven-lobed leaves give it a more solid presence than most selections with delicate foliage.

Known as the coral-bark maple, it extends the interest of the Japanese maple beyond leaf fall. During the winter, the young branches take on an intense coral red and turn the bare structure of the tree into its main ornamental feature.

It brings the delicacy of the deeply cut leaves of the Dissectum maples to a tree of upright growth. This unusual combination creates a vertical, light, transparent crown, very different from the low, weeping forms that characterise most cultivars in this group.

A compact selection of ‘Bloodgood’, ‘Shaina’ concentrates the colour intensity of the purple Japanese maples in a low, dense, heavily branched crown. The successive production of bright red leaves at the tips creates luminous contrasts against the darker foliage.

A large maple whose dense, markedly upright crown brings height, shade and the rhythm of trees to streets with less lateral space. The spring flowering, the broad foliage and the golden colour of autumn add an expressive seasonal sequence to its regular architecture.

A tree with a broad, dense crown, known for the red-purple foliage that keeps its intensity of colour throughout spring and summer. The combination of expressive habit, abundant shade and permanent colour makes it a structural element for parks, large gardens and urban avenue planting.

A tree of controlled size, recognised by its naturally spherical crown, which becomes progressively broader and flatter. The regularity of its form, its dense shade and its golden autumn colour make it particularly suitable for squares, entrances, car parks and formal compositions.

A monumental tree with a broad, dense crown, recognised by its large palmate leaves and the spectacular white panicles that rise above the foliage in spring. Its scale, its capacity to cast shade and its historic presence make it especially suited to parks, large gardens and spacious avenues.

A historic selection of the horse chestnut that combines a monumental shade-giving crown with white, double and particularly long-lasting flowers. As a sterile cultivar, it does not produce the bulky spiny fruits of the species, which makes it especially valuable for large avenues, squares and other prominent urban spaces.

The combination of white trunk, luminous crown and fine, clearly pendulous twigs gives Betula pendula an immediately recognisable silhouette. It is a fast-growing pioneer species, able to bring verticality without creating a heavy visual mass and to hold landscape interest all year round.

A fastigiate cultivar of Betula pendula, suited to urban avenue planting with small tree pits, narrow dividing strips and courtyards where a vertical silhouette and white bark are wanted, performing most reliably north of the River Mondego.

A structural hedge or small single specimen for shaded courtyards, for the understorey of trees of the beech family in historic gardens of the North and for walled settings that call for evergreen foliage and flowering between January and April.

‘Brushfield’s Yellow’ approaches yellow through a very particular floral composition: creamy-white outer petals surround a dense centre of small primrose-yellow petaloids. This anemone form, set off against the dark green foliage, makes it one of the most recognisable pale camellias.

A European tree with a dense crown and great longevity, recognised by its deeply fluted grey trunk and its strongly textured foliage. Its extraordinary response to pruning allows it to be used both in its natural form and in hedges, pleached screens, avenue plantings and rigorously trained plant structures.

A selection of hornbeam with a well-defined vertical axis and strongly ascending branching. The narrow, pyramidal crown of youth gradually turns into a broad oval structure, compact and densely leaved, creating a tree of strong formal presence for avenues, entrances and large avenue plantings.

A hornbeam cultivar with a narrow, compact and densely branched crown, it keeps a more contained vertical silhouette than ‘Fastigiata’. The dark green foliage takes on golden tones in autumn and stays brown on the branches for much of the winter, prolonging the visual presence of the tree.

A very slow-growing cultivar, it naturally forms an extremely compact, dense and regular columnar crown, like a living obelisk. Its restrained size makes it possible to introduce a precise architectural presence in small gardens and urban spaces where other columnar trees would reach an excessive volume.

A large conifer of monumental presence, it develops a crown that is pyramidal at first and becomes progressively broader, more open and sculptural. The horizontal arrangement of its branches, its evergreen foliage, green to grey-green, and its longevity give it an exceptional architectural expression.

An evergreen conifer of relatively slow growth, it stands out for the golden-yellow foliage of its young shoots, which contrasts with the yellowish-green and bluish-green tones of the older needles. The crown, pyramidal at first, becomes progressively broad and layered, acquiring a luminous, monumental presence.

With the silvery-blue foliage that sets the cultivar apart from the botanical type, this conifer has established itself in historic Portuguese parks and avenues as an architectural feature with a broad crown and an unmistakable silhouette.

A small deciduous tree with a broad, irregular crown, it is transformed in early spring by an intense purple-pink flowering that appears directly on the mature branches and on the trunk itself. Heart-shaped leaves and long, flattened pods follow, extending the ornamental interest through the year.

A small deciduous tree of weeping habit, it combines a cascading crown with the intense purple-pink flowering characteristic of the species. The flowers appear directly on the mature branches and the trunk, before the heart-shaped leaves, turning the whole structure of the tree into a spring event.

Native to eastern North America, Cornus florida announces spring by covering its still sparsely leaved crown with four large white bracts, recognisable by their notched tip. Red fruits follow, then a scarlet to violet autumn colour and, in mature specimens, a finely chequered bark.

A small deciduous tree with a compact, elegant crown, it is distinguished by green foliage edged with creamy yellow, by white flowering in spring and by an extraordinary change of colour in autumn. The succession of colours through the year makes it especially suited to small gardens and compositions that call for a luminous focal point.

A small deciduous tree with a progressively broad crown, it stands out for the abundant pink flowering that covers the branches in spring. Red fruits and intense autumn colour follow, extending its interest over several seasons.

A small tree or medium-sized shrub, with a progressively broad, layered crown, it stands out for its abundant white flowering in early summer. Pinkish fruits and intense autumn colour follow, while the bark of mature specimens adds interest during the winter.

A small deciduous tree of vigorous growth and dense crown, it stands out for its extraordinary creamy-white bracts, which can exceed 15 centimetres in diameter. The abundant flowering covers much of the crown in late spring and is complemented by red fruits and intense autumn colour.

A small deciduous tree of vigorous growth with a broad, vase-shaped crown, it stands out for its white flowering, abundant from a relatively young age. The large creamy-white bracts are followed by numerous red fruits, while the foliage takes on intense tones in autumn.

A small deciduous tree with a broad crown and open branching, it stands out for the extraordinary quantity of creamy-white bracts that covers the foliage in early summer. The flowering is followed by numerous red fruits, while the foliage takes on intense tones of orange, red and purple in autumn.

A large deciduous tree with a broad, majestic crown, it combines luminous foliage with grey, smooth and instantly recognisable bark. The transformation of the leaves, from the light green of spring to the golden and coppery tones of autumn, reinforces its presence through the seasons.

A deciduous tree with a broad, rounded crown, it is distinguished by its deeply cut foliage, which gives the beech an unusually light and delicate texture. It keeps the elegance and architectural presence of the species, adding lacier foliage and luminous autumn colour.

The European beech in its dark-leaved version: intense purple in spring, deep all summer, copper and scarlet in autumn. A broad, dense crown on a smooth grey trunk, for a specimen tree in large gardens, parks and estates in the North and the cool interior.

A weeping cultivar of the European beech intended for an urban park, historic garden or large green space in the north and centre of the country: it is used as a free-standing specimen, serving as a structuring focal point with an unmistakable silhouette on the location plan.

A species with a conical to pyramidal crown for urban avenue planting and single specimens in squares, chosen when the aim is a structured habit, reliable autumn colour and freedom from the plant-health pressures that now constrain plane and ash.

A French selection of columnar habit, it concentrates the ancestral identity of the Ginkgo in a narrow, strongly vertical silhouette. In autumn, the foliage turns the whole crown into a golden-yellow column, particularly effective in avenue planting and urban spaces where width is limited.

A male selection of Ginkgo biloba with a very straight central leader and ascending lateral branches, more fastigiate than the cultivar 'Blagon'. It forms a tall, architectural columnar crown, crowned in autumn by an intense golden-yellow transformation.

A thornless cultivar of Gleditsia triacanthos, selected for urban tree planting where the straight species is ruled out by its thorns; in street planting and squares it takes the place of a plane or an ash, with proven tolerance of drought and pollution.

For projects that call for shade without darkness, this golden cultivar of honey locust combines a rounded, airy crown, a complete absence of thorns and pods, and compound foliage that filters the light, allowing lawn or massed planting beneath.

A female cultivar of blue holly, with glossy dark green leaves with a bluish sheen and a compact habit, selected for evergreen hedges of 2 to 3 metres. With a male plant nearby, such as 'Heckenstar', it is covered in red berries in autumn and winter.

A male cultivar of blue holly, with a compact, pyramidal habit and glossy dark green leaves with bluish glints, selected for evergreen hedges and to pollinate 'Heckenfee', which bears no fruit without it. Resistant to cold and wind, it keeps its foliage immaculate all year round.

A small deciduous tree that flowers when almost everything else has finished: from July to September it is covered in bright red panicles, above a trunk with smooth bark that peels in patches. In autumn the leaves turn orange and red. Made for sun and heat.

A small deciduous tree with abundant white flowering between July and September, when few trees are in flower. The smooth trunk, which peels in patches of grey and light brown, and the foliage that turns orange in autumn make it a four-season feature for courtyards, entrances and sunny gardens.

A small deciduous tree that flowers pale pink from July to September, above a trunk with smooth bark that peels in patches. It copes with heat, drought and the tight space of a courtyard or a street tree pit, and ends the year with orange and red foliage.

A cultivar with intense purple flowering from July to September and a balanced size of 4 to 6 metres, suited to short avenue plantings, urban tree pits and ornamental groups where prolonged summer interest is wanted without aggressive roots.

A conical-crowned species for projects that require stable autumn colour in avenue planting or as a structural group, particularly where the soil is acidic to neutral and well drained and the mature size can be accommodated at generous spacing.

A compact form of sweetgum, with a spherical crown that shapes itself and stays at 3 to 5 metres for decades. The same palmate leaf and the same autumn in layers of yellow, orange, red and purple, on a scale that fits narrow streets, courtyards and beds beside the house.

A sweetgum cultivar selected for the uniformity of its autumn colour and for a crown more restrained than that of the straight species, which makes it particularly suitable for urban avenue planting, central reservations and parks where formal consistency between specimens is required.

A Californian selection of sweetgum chosen for the regularity of its conical, symmetrical crown and for its reliable autumn colour, in uniform orange and red, even in mild climates where seed-raised plants colour poorly. For avenue planting, tree-lined walks and single specimens.

A fastigiate cultivar of the sweetgum, with a columnar habit of 12 to 18 m by only 1.5 to 2 m in spread. Suited to avenue planting along narrow streets, central reservations and urban courtyards where the crown of the straight species does not fit.

A cultivar of Liquidambar styraciflua chosen for street planting and avenues that call for a narrow pyramidal silhouette, an ascending crown and reliable autumn colour, without the lateral spread that limits the straight species in a tree pit.

A species seldom specified in the Portuguese market but with proven performance in Atlantic and temperate Mediterranean climates. In a tree pit it takes the place of a Liquidambar or an Acer, with lower water demand, proven plant-health resistance and ornamental interest spread across the whole year.

A columnar cultivar of the Persian ironwood, suited to urban avenue plantings where the specification requires an upright habit and a contained crown, while retaining the autumn colour and the winter interest of the flaking bark.

A compact cultivar of cherry laurel, with broad, glossy leaves and coppery new growth in spring, specified for hedges of 2 to 3 metres that need to thicken quickly and withstand cold and wind. Evergreen and shade-tolerant.

A vigorous cherry laurel cultivar with large, bright green, glossy leaves, selected for its resistance to cold and to the leaf diseases that weaken other laurels. It makes tall, dense hedges in a few years, in sun or shade.

One of the most emblematic Japanese cherries, ‘Kanzan’ turns its whole crown into an intensely pink composition in late spring. The double flowers, the contrast with the bronze new growth and the vase-shaped architecture give it a presence that is at once exuberant and formal.

For projects that call for a spring-flowering specimen with an open, contained habit, this cultivar of Japanese flowering cherry stands out for its horizontal crown and semi-double white flower, distinct from the upright, vase-shaped habit of the more common 'Kanzan'.

A dwarf form of pin oak, grafted on a tall stem, which develops a dense, regular globe-shaped crown without ever reaching the scale of the species. A deeply cut, glossy leaf that turns orange-red in autumn. The right choice where there are overhead wires, façades or narrow pavements.
