Hi Bronte,
Thank you for contacting Yates.
For a small shade tree, you may look into the following:
- Cercis
- Weeping Cherry
- Acer
- Crape Myrtle
- Crab Apple
- Flowering Dogwood
- Gleditsia
I suggest improving soil before planting by digging in some Yates Dynamic Lifter Soil Improver & Plant Fertiliser, which is a manure based, certified organic fertiliser, and will provide all the nutrients (nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus) for your plants need to grow and thrive.
Hope this helps and happy garending.
