Parasol Trees

Parasol trees, also known as roof form, roof top or umbrella shape trees, are single stem trees trained and maintained to form distinctive flat canopies. Through careful pruning and structural training over many years, each parasol and roof tree is developed into a precise architectural form, creating a strong horizontal presence within the landscape.

Ideal for terraces, courtyards and garden seating areas; they are widely used to create natural shade, privacy and focal points. Often used in place of pergolas or built structures, these canopy trees bring year-round interest and are particularly effective in urban and residential settings where space is limited, but impact is important.
