Platanus TREEVOLUTION ® THE SWING ®

THE SWING trees are roof form trees with a striking twist in the trunk. The idea for these trees arose from the need for a green roof above terraces, without the hindrance of a trunk in the middle. This is practical, but also better for the tree, because trees prefer not to stand in paving. Planted in a border, the roots can get more water and air and will not push up the paving. A win-win situation, and also a real eye-catcher in the garden. The effect of the S-shaped trunk gives every terrace or garden an elegant character. When SWING trees are planted opposite each other, it is possible to cover an entire terrace, but also a single well-placed tree can create a beautiful effect.
Just as with ordinary roof form trees, the roof needs to be pruned every year in order to retain its shape.

Platanus, Carpinus and Parrotia
THE SWING trees are grown in Platanus x hispanica (plane tree) and Carpinus betulus (hornbeam) as both are valued topiary trees and fit into many designs. Since autumn 2020, Parrotia persica (Persian ironwood), which colours so beautifully in autumn, has also been added to the range. THE SWING trees are patented and exclusively available from Van den Berk Nurseries.
