Parasol trees with large leaves

The leaves are the filters of sunlight, and the strength of a parasol tree is the way its leaves play with it. The playful and atmospheric effect of filtering cannot be matched by textiles or other artificial solutions. Large leaves filter `fuller` and in such a way that the effect is a gentle movement of green shades. Small or compound leaves such as the Gleditsia or Swamp Oak give a more dynamic shade experience that is tingling. Now with large-leaved umbrella trees, you can also approach that effect, by maintaining the tree with a very open crown. That way you get the best of both!
