Description

An oblong tree typically refers to a tree with a narrow, elongated shape. Its branches and canopy grow in a long, oval or elliptical form, often taller than it is wide. This shape makes it ideal for smaller spaces or areas where a vertical, column-like aesthetic is desired. Some common types of oblong trees include varieties of poplars, cypress, and certain ornamental trees like the Lombardy poplar or the Italian cypress. These trees are often used for lining walkways, providing privacy screens, or adding visual height to landscapes without occupying too much lateral space.
