Hello! I have just bought my dream home in the countryside of England
with a large garden. We are lucky enough to have a beautiful arboretum
at the back of the garden. I would really like to label the trees here
as there are many different kinds however I am not sure as to how to
label them so as not to spoil the look. Would anyone be able to suggest
a lebelling method?

Thank you in advance

This is a controversial subject with botanical gardens! Labels of course
answer the perpetual "what's this?" questions, but some feel they make the
garden look like a supermarket.

I'd suggest a small, discrete sign on a small post. Probably white type on
a black background, using a smallish font size (e.g. 18pt). If you have the
budget, engraved plastic will be super-durable.
