Benefits of Flowering Trees

Flowering trees don't just look pretty; they offer many benefits too.

1. They improve air quality: Flowering trees act as natural air purifiers, removing pollutants and providing cleaner air.
2. They support wildlife: These trees offer habitats and food sources for birds, bees, and other wildlife, enhancing biodiversity.
3. They enhance mental well-being: The beauty and scent of flowering trees can boost mood and reduce stress, making your garden a peaceful retreat.

Spring Flowering Trees

After the long sleep of winter, our gardens are ready to burst back into life. Flowering trees are the perfect way to awaken your outdoor space with vibrant colors and sweet scents. Here are some top picks for your home:

Native Flowering Trees

These trees help preserve our natural landscape and offer a home and food source for native birds. They're an eco-friendly choice, avoiding the nuisance seeds some non-natives produce. Plus, if they spread naturally, you're contributing positively to the species' future.

Redbuds

Redbuds are standout native trees known for their breathtaking spring beauty. The Western Redbud, thriving from California to as far as Delaware, flourishes in areas with cold winter nights. The Eastern Redbud Tree covers the east to southern Canada, preferring year-round rainfall.

Both types dazzle with unique purple-pink blossoms and heart-shaped leaves, making them perfect for any garden.

Dogwoods

Dogwoods are another great native option. We stock varieties like the White Dogwood, Cherokee Brave, Princess Dogwood, and Kousa Dogwood. These trees are native to the east, from Maine to Florida and Texas. They come alive in spring with their stunning flowers.

While wild types are usually white, cultivated versions offer spectacular pink blooms, adding a magnificent spring display to your home.

Summer Flowering Trees

When summer arrives, it's time for trees like the Crape Myrtles to take center stage. Originating from China and Japan and becoming iconic in the southern U.S., these resilient trees bloom throughout summer into early fall. They're celebrated for their lengthy flowering period and diversity in color and size. Here are some varieties to consider for continuous summer color:

How and When to Plant Flowering Trees

Before planting your new tree, it's crucial to know your growing zone. This helps you choose the right tree for your area.

Make sure to also consider how much sunlight and water your tree will need. The best times to plant are in early spring or fall to avoid frost damage.

When the ground is not frozen and it's not too hot or cold, you're ready to plant.

Here's how to do it:

1. Pick a spot with well-drained soil.
2. Dig a hole big enough for the tree's roots, with some extra room to grow.
3. Place your tree in the hole and fill it back in.
4. Water your tree to help the soil settle.
5. Add mulch around the base to keep moisture in.

How To Care For Flowering Trees

Caring for your flowering tree after planting is crucial for its health and beauty. Here's a simple guide to help it thrive:

Watering

Water your tree deeply near the trunk during its first growing season to ensure the roots have enough moisture. As the tree grows, start watering further from the trunk, under the tree's drip-line where the branches end.

Fertilizing

Use liquid fertilizers for young trees to promote quick growth. For mature trees, apply granular fertilizer in the early spring around the root-zone or drip-line. Consider a second feeding in early summer for trees that bloom in summer.

Mulching

Lay a generous circle of mulch around your tree to keep grass away, conserve moisture, and protect its trunk from damage. This is especially important for young trees to help them establish without competition from grass.

Protecting

Keep the mulched area free from grass and large enough to cover the area under the tree's outer branches. This protects the tree's bark from potential damage from lawn equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the easiest flowering tree to grow?

Eastern Redbud Trees and Crape Myrtles are our go to recommendation. The Eastern Redbud thrives in a variety of well-drained soils and prefers full sun to part shade. It's generally pest- and disease-resistant, making it a low-maintenance choice. Crape Myrtles are great for their vibrant summer blooms and are relatively low-maintenance. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil and are tolerant of heat and drought conditions.

What is the best small flowering tree?

The Thunderstruck Lavender Skies Crape Myrtle and Thunderstruck White Lightning Crape Myrtle are both great choices. We recommend them because they grow to about 10 feet tall and do well in zones 7-10. They both have beautiful flowers, but won't grow too large.
