Spring Flowering Trees

After a long, stark winter, the first trees to announce the arrival of spring are ornamental and flowering. To brighten, enlighten, and escape from winter’s barren canvas, be sure to include a spring flowering tree on your property. Since many flowering trees are petite in size, they can provide a universal solution to most landscapes. To see our full-line of Spring Flowering Trees, click here.

 

Amelanchier canadensis / Shadblow Serviceberry

Typically, the first to be noticed at springtime, with pure-white, glistening flowers. Following the blooms, many small dark red-purple, apple-shaped fruits appear. The light shade cast by the open crown makes this tree well-suited for planting near a deck or patio. Native. Upright, twiggy, multi-stemmed large shrub, eventually reaching 20-25’ tall. Full Sun to Light Shade.



 
 

Laburnum watereri 'Vossii' / Goldenchain Tree

Very ornate with bright yellow flower clusters, bright green compound leaves and olive-green bark. Blossoms hang like grapes from its branches. Excellent as an accent tree in mass plantings. Up to 18’ tall. Full Sun to Light Shade.




 
 

Magnolia vulcan / Vulcan Magnolia

One of the best red Magnolias developed, and very low maintenance. Heavy textured flowers are bold ruby-red inside and out. Forms a small tree to 15-18’ tall. Use as an accent. Full Sun to Part Shade.
