If you have the space (and you will need plenty!), various large tree species will provide food for as many moth caterpillars as the plants listed in the other sections. Trees have been shown to bring more wildlife to an area than any other single feature, even ponds.

It is not a good idea to plant a tree species capable of growing to 5m/16ft near domestic buildings and trying to restrict its growth with occasional pollarding. The roots can do extensive damage to pipes and foundations. However, there are places where larger trees are suitable and very productive. As with smaller plants, it is more useful to have a group of the same species than have a single tree.
