Standard trees are versatile and suit a range of garden styles. Evergreen options like bay give year-round structure and will stay naturally compact in containers, making them a good fit for a patio or balcony garden. Flowering standards like lilac and hibiscus introduce seasonal colour and scent, while the popular Salix Flamingo Tree offers fascinating variegated foliage from spring to summer.
If you’re looking for alternatives or want to know about companion planting, take a look at our wider ranges of evergreen trees, ornamental trees, or flowering shrubs, which combine naturally with many standards.
It's a lot easier to grow a standard tree than many gardeners might imagine. They thrive in well-drained soil, whether they are planted directly into borders or into containers, and only need regular watering during their first year to settle in well. Feeding in spring with a slow-release fertiliser keeps the canopy lush and healthy.
Plus, pruning couldn't be easier: just trim the top growth once a year to keep that classic lollipop shape and remove any shoots that start to appear on the stem. Evergreen standards provide shelter for birds, while flowering varieties such as lilac or hibiscus attract bees and butterflies during the warmer months.
