Gardening: Take a parachute and jump
With Jo McGarry of Caragh Nurseries

Parachute form trees are multi-stem trees with wide spanning, mushroom-shaped heads. The extensive head of foliage makes these trees ideal for screening, but they work equally well in large pots, and make spectacular statement pieces. Here at Caragh Nurseries, we use them quite often in our design projects where something a little unusual is required. The multi-stems create additional interest below the foliage, especially when paired with some contrasting underplanting like lavender.
Here’s just a few of our favourites that we love using in both residential and commercial garden design. These are multi-functional trees that you won’t see every day. They are equally fit for purpose providing screening and privacy as they are packing a punch with statement and style. Who said you can’t have it all?
