Best Flowering Trees to Add Color to Your Garden

Flowering trees are a wonderful way to add color to your garden. And as an added bonus, some trees that feature glorious flower shows also bear fruit. Here are half a dozen of the most popular flowering trees to consider:

1. Crabapple: This tree needs full sun but provides a spectacular show of blossoms and leaves before producing fruit that can become jelly by holiday time.

2. Cherry: Why travel to Washington, DC when you can have a cherry festival in your own backyard with this tree's white and pink floral clusters every spring. Sweet cherry and sour cherry varieties produce fruit, but the ornamental Japanese cherry wows you with its fragrant bouquets alone.

3. Flowering Dogwood: Does well in partial shade to full sun, producing small green flowers in springtime, with leaves that turn deep red, pink or purple by the fall.

4. Goldenchain Tree: The perfect choice to add a splash of vibrant yellow to your landscaping, this tree thrives in partial shade conditions.

5. Crape Myrtle: Choose Seminole for vibrant pinks, Natchez for showy white flowers,or Catawba if you love deep purple blossoms.

6. Empress Tree: True to its royal name, this very tall tree showcases purple flowers.
