We know that flowering trees can add beauty to your landscape and enhance your garden but when choosing trees you have to consider this. You must be sure to select a tree whose height will be a good match for the spot you are putting it in. If you want a rather short tree to compliment a corner garden, then you won’t want to choose one that grows to 50 feet tall.
On the other hand, if you want a large tree to spruce up your front yard, a dwarf tree will be, well, dwarfed by the rest of the landscape. Choose also the trees that thrive in your area and be aware of any pests or special maintenance. Your local garden center can help steer you in the right direction for maintenance and planting instructions. Well, here are some flowering trees you might want to consider:
- Cherry Trees – There are several varieties of flowering cherry trees that grow from 12 feet to 50 feet tall. The Snow Fountain Flowering Cherry is great for smaller gardens and grows to only 12 feet in height. This tree has branches that droop to the ground with white flowers that bloom early in the season. A perfect tree to highlight a corner garden.
- Peach Tree – If you live in a Southern climate, then you are probably familiar with this tree. This vase shaped tree grows to 25 feet and produces a lot of fruit. You must, however, plant it in the correct climate and soil. Avoid soil that is too wet or you will be disappointed with the outcome.
- Pear Tree – The flowering pear tree can perk up any landscape and grows to about 45 feet producing lush yummy fruit as well as flowers. There are actually different types of pear trees that will grow to different sizes. They produce white buds in spring with either red or purple foliage in fall.
