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:
| Plant Name | Special Features | Max Height | Annual Growth | Grow Zone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chokecherry Tree | While not as showy as some flowering trees, the chokecherry produces small white flowers in clusters in early spring, adding a touch of elegance to the landscape. These flowers give way to small dark purple fruits later in the summer. | 20-30 ft | Medium 1-2 ft | 2-7 |
| Eastern Redbud Tree | Same as American Redbud Tree, this captivating tree explodes with vibrant pinkish-purple flowers in early spring, blooming before the leaves emerge, creating a magical display of color. | 20-30 ft | Medium 1-2 ft | 4-9 |
| Lynwood Gold Forsythia | A harbinger of spring, the Lynwood Gold Forsythia bursts into bloom in early spring, covering its branches with a profusion of bright yellow, four-petaled flowers. | 6-10 ft | Medium 1-2 ft | 5-8 |
| Weeping Peach Tree | Blooming in early spring, weeping peach trees blossom with soft pink, or crimson blooms as delicate single or double flowers that adorn long arching branches that weep towards the ground. | 10-15 ft | Fast 2-3 ft | 5-8 |
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:
- Pick a spot with well-drained soil.
- Dig a hole big enough for the tree's roots, with some extra room to grow.
- Place your tree in the hole and fill it back in.
- Water your tree to help the soil settle.
- 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.
Choosing The Right Flowering Tree
| Consider | Our Advice |
|---|---|
| Size | Choose a tree that fits your garden space. Smaller gardens benefit from trees no more than 12-15 feet tall, while larger spaces can accommodate trees up to 30 feet. Remember to plant trees at least 12 feet from your house based on their spread. |
| Trunk Type | Decide between a single trunk for a traditional tree form or multi-trunk for a more picturesque look. Single trunks are practical for shade, while multi-trunked trees offer unique beauty but may limit under-tree usage. |
| Shape and Form | Consider the existing shapes in your garden. If most plants are rounded, an upright tree can add contrast. Cascading or vase-shaped trees can add elegance or interest respectively. |
| Color | Match the tree's bloom color with your garden's color scheme. Consider a variety of colors for different seasons or use white to bring a calm, elegant look or to separate clashing colors. |
| Hardiness | Check your hardiness zone to select a tree that will thrive in your climatic conditions. Choose species that prefer your local weather, whether cooler or warmer. |
| Soil and Moisture | Understand your soil type and moisture level. Select trees that can thrive in your garden's natural conditions, whether it's dry and needing drought-tolerant species or moist with acid-loving plants. |
| Season of Bloom | Choose trees that bloom when you are most likely to enjoy them. Consider your usual presence in the garden across different seasons to ensure your flowering trees are seen and appreciated at their best. |
