View full detailsFlowering 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.
So, how do you choose which flowering tree is right for you?
Start with your site. If you have full sun, great, almost all flowering trees enjoy full sun. If you have a slightly shady spot choose a Flowering Dogwood or a Redbud tree. The Profusion Crabapple, Cleveland Flowering Pear, and Eastern Redbud are going to be the most tolerant of poor soil.
Check your planting zone before choosing your tree. Cold areas - The Royal Star Magnolia, Newport Flowering Plum, and Eastern Redbud are going to be the most cold-hardy Flowering trees, growing into a zone 4. Warm climates - Several varieties of Crape Myrtle can grow into a zone 10. These include Muskogee, Natchez, Tonto, and the Black Diamond series. The Knockout Rose trees and the Newport Flowering Plum can also tolerate heat and grow into a zone 10.
Determine what size tree is right for your space. Be sure to check the mature height and spread of the flowering tree you like before buying. You want to make sure your new tree has plenty of room to grow. We definitely have a size that will suit your needs. From Knock Out® Rose trees and Crape Myrtles as small as 4 feet to the Cleveland Flowering Pear and Crape Myrtles that can grow over 30 feet tall and everything in between you have plenty of options.
Now for the fun part! Pick the color, features, and look you like.
