Just try standing beneath a mature tree when the sun is beating down\u2014the difference is immediately noticeable!<\/p><p>Trees provide shade and play an important role in the microclimate of our surroundings. Furthermore, they are an essential component of a biodiverse garden.<\/p><p>For this reason, a tree should not be viewed merely as an expense in terms of maintenance; rather, it is an investment in the future.
