Shade tree

a fig, a common shade tree in many parts of the world.
A shade tree is a large tree whose primary role is to
provide shade in the surrounding environment due to its
spreading canopy and crown, where it may give shelter
from sunlight in the heat of the summer for people who
seek recreational needs in urban parks and
house yards, and thus, also protecting them from the
sun's harmful UV rays and sunburns. Therefore, some
shade trees may be grown specifically for the comfort of
the population due to their convenient shelter.
Furthermore, shade trees are also effective in reducing
the energy used in cooling homes.
Popular shade tree
Some of the most popular shade trees in temperate
countries are oaks, plane
trees, willows, birches, beeches, maples, ashes, lindens,
and elms. In subtropical countries like Australia and
India, figs are popular choices as shade trees. In tropical
countries, trees such as the African tulip tree and
some Erythrina species are often planted as shade
trees. These trees are commonly grown, and/or used,
as shade trees due to their protuberant size.

Planting
There are a few factors to consider when choosing a
shade tree: deciduousness, coverage, longevity, and the
ability of the roots to damage foundations. Shade trees
can enhance the privacy of a garden, patio, or back
yard, by obstructing the view of outsiders. A
disadvantage is that in cool climates, an abundance of
shade trees may lead to a dank environment in any
nearby buildings or gardens. Shade trees must not be
planted near chimneys as flying fire sparks can ignite
tree branches which could cause rapidly expanding
fires.
Planting shade trees around a home can also reduce
the energy that homeowners use in the summer months.
Planting shade trees in locations near a home air
conditioner can keep the air conditioner cooler which
helps it run more efficiently, so less energy is used.
Ornamental plant

Ornamental plants are plants that are grown for
decorative purposes in gardens and landscape
design projects, as houseplants, cut flowers and
specimen display. The cultivation of ornamental plants is
called floriculture, which forms a major branch
of horticulture.

Garden plants
Commonly, ornamental [garden] plants are grown for the
display of aesthetic features including: flowers, leaves,
scent, overall foliage texture, fruit, stem and bark, and
aesthetic form. In some cases, unusual features may be
considered to be of interest, such as the
prominent thorns of Rosa service and cacti. In all cases,
their purpose is for the enjoyment of gardeners, visitors,
and the public institutions.
Trees
Similarly certain trees may be called ornamental trees.
This term is used when they are used as part of
a garden, park, or landscape setting, for instance for
their flowers, their texture, form, size and shape, and
other aesthetic characteristics. In some countries trees
in 'utilitarian' landscape use such as screening, and
roadside plantings are called amenity trees.

Grasses
Main article: Ornamental grass

Ornamental grasses are grasses grown as ornamental

plants. Many ornamental grasses are true
grasses (Phocaea), however several other families of
grass-like plants are typically marketed as ornamental
grasses. These include
the sedges (Cyperaceous), rushes (Juncaceous), ratios
(Restionaceae), and coat-tails (Typhaceae). All
are monocotyledons, typically with narrow leaves and
parallel veins. Most are herbaceous perennials, though
many are evergreen and some develop woody tissues.
Ornamental grasses are popular in many countries.
They bring striking linear form, texture, color, motion,
and sound to the garden, throughout the year.
Ornamental grasses are popular in many
colder hardiness zones for their resilience to cold
temperatures and aesthetic value throughout fall and
winter seasons.

Cultivation

For plants to be considered ornamental, they require
specific work and pruning by a gardener. For instance,
many plants cultivated for topiary and bonsai would only
be considered to be ornamental by virtue of the regular
pruning carried out on them by the gardener, and they
may rapidly cease to be ornamental if the work was
abandoned.
Ornamental plants and trees are distinguished
from utilitarian and crop plants, such as those used
for agriculture and vegetable crops, and for forestry or
as fruit trees. This does not preclude any particular type
of plant being grown both for ornamental qualities in the
garden, and for utilitarian purposes in other settings.
Thus lavender is typically grown as an ornamental plant
in gardens, but may also be grown as a crop plant for
the production of lavender oil.

The term
The term ornamental plant is used here in the same
sense that it is generally used in the horticultural
trades. The term largely corresponds to 'garden plant',
though the latter is much less precise, as any plant may
be grown in a garden. Ornamental plants are plants
which are grown for display purposes, rather than
functional ones. While some plants are both ornamental
and functional, people usually use the term “ornamental
plants” to refer to plants which have no value beyond
being attractive, although many people feel that this is
value enough. Ornamental plants are the keystone of
ornamental gardening, and they come in a range of
shapes, sizes and colors suitable to a broad array of
climates, landscapes, and gardening needs.
Some ornamental plants are grown for showy foliage.
Their foliage may be deciduous, turning bright orange,
red, and yellow before dropping off in the fall, or
evergreen, in which case it stays green year-round.
Some ornamental foliage has a striking appearance
created by lacy leaves or long needles, while other
ornamentals are grown for distinctively colored leaves,
such as silvery-gray ground covers and bright red
grasses, among many others.
Other ornamental plants are cultivated for their blooms.
Flowering ornamentals are a key aspect of many
gardens, with many flower gardeners preferring to plant
a variety of flowers so that the garden is continuously in
flower through the spring and summer. Depending on
the types of plants being grown, the flowers may be
subtle and delicate, or large and showy, with some
ornamental plants producing distinctive aromas which
paint a palette of scents in addition to colors.
