Flowering Trees

About

Turn any yard into a spring showpiece. Flowering trees deliver a “big landscape” feeling fast—because blooms read from the street, across the yard, and from inside your windows.

When you start with mature size in mind, everything gets easier: spacing, pruning, and long-term shape. Choose the bloom moment and the look you’re getting.

Cherries and crabapples deliver that cloud-of-bloom effect, redbud adds color straight onto bare branches early in the season, and dogwoods provide their iconic bracted display that reads as big flowers from a distance. Magnolias bring dramatic, sculptural blooms early, while serviceberry and fringe tree offer a lighter, more naturalistic look that still fee
