Not everybody has a giant yard in which they can plant numerous trees. Fortunately, there are plenty of smaller trees to choose from to help spruce up a smaller outdoor area. The following are 10 small trees that we highly recommend:
- Japanese Maple – Boasts red to purple fall colors.

- Apple Serviceberry – Attracts birds with its June fruit and has a yellow to red fall color.
- Mexican Redbud – A heat and drought tolerant tree that’s multistemmed.
- Chinese Fringtree – Provides dark green foliage during the summer and white flowers in the middle of May.
- Flowering Dogwood – Grows gorgeous white or pink flowers as well as red fruit that attracts birds.
- American Smoketree – Has green foliage except during the fall, when it turns a brilliant orange to red.
- Cockspur Hawthorn – Has white flowers and bronze-reddish color in the fall.
- Winter King Hawthorn – Grows red fruit that lasts into winter.
- Royal Star – Grows stunning white fragrant flowers.
