Due to their size and expense, gardeners tend to put a lot more thought into the trees they ultimately buy for their landscape. While a perennial might only live for 6 or 7 years, a tree might grace your garden for 50 years or more—outliving the person who so carefully selected it, in fact.

Amanda Bennett is vice president of horticulture and collections at Atlanta Botanical Gardens in Georgia.
