Flowering Trees

Flowering trees are one of the most important additions to any landscape. These trees add color and beauty in addition to curb appeal and property value. Flowering trees provide shade in the warm months and most drop their leaves in fall, allowing sun to heat your home just when you need some warmth. Your pocketbook will thank you! All of our flowering trees are low maintenance once established. You don’t have to be an expert to take care of these easy to grow trees.

Spring Flowering Trees like Flowering Plum, Crabapple, Dogwood, Redbud, Magnolia, and Flowering Cherry trees, such as the Yoshino Cherry Tree and Kwanzan Cherry Tree, should be pruned right after blooming. Summer Flowering Trees like Crape Myrtles should be pruned in late winter or early spring when they are dormant. Pruning to remove dead, broken, or diseased branches can be done at any time

Spring and fall are the best times to plant Ornamental Flowering Trees in most parts of the US. For areas with mild summers or mild winters these can be excellent times to plant as well.

Any large Flowering Tree will double as a shade tree. It is a great way to get the best of both worlds. Dogwoods, Crape Myrtles, Redbuds, Flowering Cherry, Plum, and Pear trees and flowering Crabapples are excellent Flowering Shade Tree options.
