Tree Garden Gate

General Gardening

I am in the beginning stages of considering a gate design for our front yard, which is also basically the entrance to our garden and orchard since it is all becoming the same area.

That said, being a tree nerd, I am considering what kind of design to go with and am looking for ideas. A friend is able to cut basically anything I can come up with and powder-coat it to match the rest of our fence (in black). They have folks who could design something but we also have friends who could work something up.

I’m not sure what kind of design we want but even the standard designs on etsy are pretty cool looking.

Votes so far are for Witch Hazel, Pawpaw, and Persimmon.

Has anyone else made their own “tree gate”?

Ours would only be a 4 foot span but this is kind of the idea we are going for:

That would be pretty cool! I like the idea of the persimmon gate.

If you have access to a lot of hazel or willow, a woven wattle gate would be another classy option

Oh I have willow and earned my basket weaving merit badge back in the day :wink:

I don’t know if my better half would be up for that one. Definitely not something I had considered but it would look very cool.

I think this one is beautiful. Combines the best of beautiful wood and metal design. My favorite shade tree is a gingko.
