What Are Specimen Trees???

While some trees form a backdrop, such as those planted on a boundary, others are a focal point, placed at strategic points to display their striking ornamental characteristics. Specimen trees can be used as focal points in their own right or may serve to highlight a particular setting. They may also lead the eyes to another area, frame a distant view, or mark the divided area between two distinct areas.
Specimen trees must have bold characteristics and, a strong shape.
