More Flowering Trees

As spring marches on, every day seems to bring another favorite tree into bloom. I’ve compiled some photos to showcase some of the best flowering trees.

First up, the lovely Serviceberry, Amelanchier canadensis, also known as shadblow. This tree finished blooming a few weeks ago:

 Here is the elegant Silverbell, Halesia diptera. These trees are so pretty with their white bell-shaped flowers:

Also blooming right now is Aesculus x ‘Fort McNair’. Fort McNair is a hybrid between the Red Buckeye (native) and the European Horse Chestnut.

And last but not least, the Fringetree, Chionanthus virginicus. I know I’ve said it before, but one of my favorites.

As you can see, there is a wealth of trees that are well-suited for our region. Featured here are natives, or partial natives, that can be wonderful assets to your garden.
