How to choose award-winning trees

Our guide to growing ornamental acers covers site, soil and establishment for the most widely awarded genera in this list. The FAQs below cover what RHS AGM means in practice, how to choose between award-winning varieties, the best AGM trees for small gardens and what to expect from these varieties in terms of care and maintenance.

What does RHS Award of Garden Merit mean?

RHS Award of Garden Merit means a plant has been independently trialled by the Royal Horticultural Society and found to deliver consistent ornamental performance, reliability and good availability to UK gardeners. An AGM award is not honorary: it requires a plant to pass formal trials assessing garden performance across a range of conditions. Buying an AGM tree significantly reduces the risk of choosing a variety that underperforms.

Are RHS AGM trees harder to grow than non-award varieties?

No, RHS AGM trees are not harder to grow: the award specifically recognises varieties that perform reliably with reasonable care under UK conditions. The AGM list tends to include robust, adaptable varieties rather than highly demanding ones, making it a useful guide for gardeners who want rewarding plants without specialist management.

Which award-winning trees are best for small gardens?

The best award-winning trees for small gardens include Amelanchier 'Ballerina', Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy', Parrotia persica 'Persian Spire' and compact Japanese acer cultivars. All hold RHS AGM status and stay at a scale suited to most residential gardens, delivering strong seasonal interest without outgrowing their space.

How many seasons of interest do award-winning trees provide?

Most award-winning trees in this range provide interest across two or more seasons. Amelanchier delivers spring blossom and autumn colour; Cercis produces striking foliage and spring flowers; Japanese acers give exceptional summer form and autumn colour. Several varieties also offer ornamental bark or persistent fruit that extends interest into winter.
