Accent trees are like the accessories of your home's exterior. They accentuate your landscaping, add personality, beauty, and act as a focal point in your yard. Accent trees tend to be small to medium sized trees, however, they are certainly not limited to that size requirement.
One of the best things about accent trees is their versatility and depending on size, they can be placed in a variety of places. Put them in your garden beds, near entrances, as an exclamation point in the landscape, or anywhere in the yard that needs a little extra something to draw in the eye.
