This plant plays a very important role in gardens. Some of them can be used as ornamental trees and shade trees, some can be used as street trees, and some can be used as flower fences or ground cover plants. There are also various application methods, which can be arranged into various characteristic gardens according to their characteristics, scenic spots of various colors according to different colors, and seasonal gardens according to the similarities and differences of flowering periods.
Different tree species have different colors, flower shapes and fragrances. How to use them to create attractive garden landscapes is worthy of serious discussion.
Flower shape
Flowers of trees have different shapes and sizes, and single flowers are usually divided into inflorescences of different sizes and styles. Due to these complicated changes, different decorative effects have been formed.
For example, the golden nucleus on the flower of Hypericum perforatum grows outside the corolla; The yellow iris of the golden chain flower forms a drooping raceme; Portable flower baskets of Malvaceae, with red flowers hanging between branches and leaves, like classical palace lanterns; Davidia involucrata flowers with huge white bracts are like the habitat of pigeons.
At the same time, through people's long-term labor, many precious garden varieties have been continuously created, further enriching the flower shape of nature. Such as peony, rose, camellia, plum blossom and so on. There are all kinds of variations, which are very different from the original flower shape.

fragrance of a flower
Although there is no consistent standard about the fragrance of flowers, they can usually be divided into fragrance (such as jasmine), sweet fragrance (such as osmanthus), strong fragrance (such as white orchid), light fragrance (such as magnolia) and fragrance (such as magnolia).
Different scents can bring people different reactions, some can be exciting, and some can also cause disgust. Due to the influence of literature and art, people have different associations and give different evaluations to some flowers. Now many countries often set up so-called "fragrant gardens", which are composed of various fragrant plants, which can not only be viewed, but also have certain health care and healing effects.
florescence
We call the overall appearance of flowers or inflorescences planted in the crown "flower phase".
The ornamental effect of flowers is not only determined by the shape, color and aroma of flowers or inflorescences, but also closely related to their distribution on trees, the foil relationship between leaves and the growth habits of branches and flowers. The shape of inflorescence is very important. Although some kinds of flowers are small, they are arranged in huge inflorescences, and the results are more beautiful than those with large flowers. For example, although small, small flowers are better than big ones.
Landscape application
1) as a street tree.
Street trees aim at beautification, shading and protection, and some flower viewing trees have both functions. For example, some trees, such as Robinia pseudoacacia and Magnolia grandiflora, and flowering shrubs, such as Eucommia ulmoides, brocade and lilac, often plant some trees on the roadside, with excellent results. However, due to the particularity of street trees, varieties with strong dryness, pruning resistance, less pests and diseases and longer life should be selected.
2) As an exclusive tree.
In addition to choosing some tall, majestic and graceful trees, we often choose some trees with attractive flowers, such as phoenix tree and magnolia tree, to watch them alone. They are often planted on the big lawn or in the center of the square.
3) As a hedge
Hedgehogs, also known as hedges or hedges, can be divided into flower hedges, fruit hedges, colored leaf hedges and hedges according to their ornamental characteristics. Many ornamental trees can be used as flower hedges, which can not only separate the space, the scope of the site, block the line of sight and set off the scenery. In bloom, the ratio of their beautiful flowers to hedges is even more beautiful. For example, Rosa roxburghii and Forsythia suspensa can be used as natural hedges, while Ligustrum lucidum and clove leaves can be used as whole hedges.
4) As scaffold material
Some flowering plants are vines, twining or climbing, and their beautiful flowers or fragrant smells can add a lot of color to scaffolding, such as camphor, vines, honeysuckle, wisteria and so on.
5) As a special garden
Ornamental trees can be arranged into characteristic gardens according to their characteristics, or into scenic spots of various colors according to different colors. Such as peony garden, rose garden. In gardens, this specialty can often play a very good ornamental effect.
