If you are fortunate enough to live near a B&B tree, you know that the sight of it can brighten up even the dreariest days. The sight of fresh flowers and greens makes the days seem shorter. However, B&B’s often come with their own problems. While you do have several options for landscaping your B&B tree, there is something you should avoid.
A common problem of B&B trees is shade. Too much shade can actually kill your B&B tree. You can place the B&B tree in an area where the sun shines quite often. However, if you are lucky, you will also have trees or bushes growing in this area that naturally soak up the sun. B&B’s planted in such areas will not suffer.
Another landscaping plants you should avoid are those that attract bees or butterflies. There is nothing more unsightly than seeing a bunch of butterflies in your garden. These garden plants may provide beauty and color, but they also serve as predators of birds and other small creatures. If you want to encourage animals to visit your B&B, you can put netting or fencing over it. You can even paint the fence silver to look like a candy store. However, be sure to put such materials somewhere that is accessible to birds and other small creatures so they will not be attracted to the paint.
Some B&B owners prefer to plant flowers instead of landscaping plants. You can do this, too, but you have to be very careful. Some flowers can attract pests and insects that will destroy your B&B tree. Roses and hawthorn can do just that.
B&b trees should be chosen carefully. They need to fit into the surrounding landscape, the size of the B&B, and the owner’s personal preferences. If you are planning to put up a B&B tree, you first have to decide what kind of tree you will have. Different kinds will attract different animals and insects. Consult your local garden center for the types of trees that will best suit your area. Some popular B&B tree choices include live oaks and palms.
Landscaping plants should be used sparingly and only to complement the B&B tree and landscape. Potted plants should be used instead of real ones. Planting flowers is also an option. This, however, should be done after consulting a local garden center to get an idea on how much water, sunlight, and nutrients (if needed) your particular variety needs. The flowers will also need proper care if they are going to bloom.
Landscaping should always follow maintenance rules. Landscaping and caring for a B&B shouldn’t take more than a few hours per week. However, you should make sure that the B&B are well-maintained from the day it was planted until it is time to turn it over to the next new owner. Any changes should be made in accordance with landscape guidelines and recommended materials. Any plants or trees should be checked regularly to ensure that they are thriving.
One thing to keep in mind when choosing B&B trees and landscapes is that different species do better in different environments. Be sure to choose plants and trees that will not thrive in your climate. Some B&B owners prefer tall trees, some prefers smaller trees, while others prefer a mix of both. As long as the climate of the area is suitable for the type of tree and B&B, you can rest assured that it will be a perfect match for your place.
Another thing to keep in mind is that there isn’t much difference between the B&B tree and landscape trees. Both of them are used as barriers to dissuade unwanted guests. If the guest cannot get into your B&B, they won’t be able to stay. On the other hand, a beautiful backdrop and a tastefully decorated tree are enough to make anyone feel welcome and at home. The only difference between the two is the size of the tree. A tree that is too big for your landscape might look tacky, but a tree that is just right can bring a calming effect to your place.
There are also many B&B owners who use their tree and landscape to complement their B&B furniture. If you have matching styles and colors in your B&B and furniture, then it will look like a matching set. You don’t have to pick out individual pieces for your B&B tree and landscapes; you can combine a tree and a B&B together.
Another popular trend in decorating a B&B is to place the tree against a backdrop of flowers or outdoor garden scenery. A flower garden offers both visual appeal and color for the B&B to complement. If you want your visitors to be awed by your B&B, you should consider using some kind of floral design or color scheme. Your B&B should say something about you, and nothing says “stylish” or “well put together” like a well-chosen backdrop against beautiful flowers.
