So you think that having three different trees will look scruffy?


There is a concept in all arts called rhythm, and if I've understood
correctly, it amounts to repetition. In a small space, three very different
but equally prominent trees look like they've just been plonked in. Three of
the same species give unity to the area. Of course you could use three citrus
trees -- they're probably similar enough to give rhythm.
