Spring Flowering Trees Pretty in Pink and White

Spring Flowering Trees

Prunus subhirtella Pendula (Weeping Cherry) Height 15-25 Cold Hardy to Zone 4 Full Sun   The first is Prunus subhirtella Pendula, otherwise known as Weeping Cherry.  Weeping Cherry is sure to be a favorite in the landscape with its open graceful weeping habit and soft pink flowers to be welcomed in spring.  This tree grows to be moderately wide so be sure to give adequate space so that it can spread.  I would recommend this tree as a stand alone piece with understory plantings.  It looks beautiful as a focal point on a raised berm area and is a show stopper when displayed at the entrance of a property.

Prunus serrulata Kwanzan (Kwanzan Cherry) Height 20-30 Cold Hardy to Zone 5 Full Sun

Prunus subhirtella Snofozam (Weeping Snow Fountain Cherry) Height 6-12 Cold Hardy to Zone 4 Full Sun

Prunus cerasifera Thundercloud (Thundercloud Plum) Height 15-25 Cold Hardy to Zone 4 Full Sun

Prunus cerasifera Thundercloud (Thundercloud Plum) Spring Blossom Height 15-25 Cold Hardy to Zone 4 Full Sun

An extremely versatile tree, Thundercloud Plum displays mildly fragrant light pink flowers in spring followed by deep burgundy foliage that lasts well into fall.  This tree has attributes that continue throughout the entire season.  Display Thundercloud Plum as a single anchor specimen in a foundation planting or in a group planting such as on a raised island bed.  It will be sure to add years of enjoyment to your landscape.

Magnolia stellata Royal Star (Star Magnolia) Height 12-20 Cold Hardy to Zone 4 Full Sun

Magnolia stellata Royal Star (Star Magnolia) Spring Blossom Height 12-20 Cold Hardy to Zone 4 Full Sun

 Star Magnolia displays fragrant white star-like flowers in early spring followed by green foliage.  Magnolia Royal Star grows as wide as it is tall and can be regularly pruned to keep a compact shape. This tree fits in very nicely as as addition to a poolscape garden as seen here and will welcome spring with its wonderful fragrance.  Magnolia forms catkin-looking buds in late winter which are an additional attribute. 

Magnolia liliflora Jane (Lily Magnolia) Height 10-12 Cold Hardy to Zone 5 Full Sun This beautiful more upright form of Magnolia displays fragrant purple and white tulip-shaped flowers in May followed by deep green foliage and on a rounded branch structure.  It serves nicely as a stand alone piece or in a woodland garden setting.  Its delicate and beautiful blooms make it a conversation piece in the garden.

Pyrus calleryana Cleveland Select (Ornamental Pear) Height 25-40 Cold Hardy to Zone 5 Full Sun Pyrus calleryana Cleveland Select (Ornamental Pear) Spring Blossom Height 25-40 Cold Hardy to Zone 5 Full Sun Ornamental Pear has become a popular landscape plant in both commercial and residential areas over the past several years.  Traditionally Bradford Pear was the species widely planted but has been found to notorious for overweight branches that break in high winds.  An improved variety known as Cleveland Select displays a more narrow upright form that is superior for flower production and better structure.  The tree is covered in pure white blossoms in early spring followed by green foliage throughout the rest of the season.  Ornamental Pear display nicely as a single specimen planting or planted in groupings for maximum impact. Cornus florida Rubra (Pink Flowering Dogwood) Height 15-20 Cold Hardy to Zone 5 Full Sun to Partial Shade Pink Flowering Dogwood is the smaller more upright form of Dogwood displaying large pink flowers before leafing out in early spring followed by small red fruit in early fall. It complements a natural woodland setting beautifully either as a single specimen planting or in a group planting.
