pink blooms cover this medium
sized tree in spring time, signaling the end of winter. The heart-shaped
leaves emerge after the spectacular flower show is over, providing soft
shade. For even more color, try the Forest Pansy variety which has deep burgundy
leaves.
White
Flowering Dogwood - No noisy barking, no biting the
postman, just beautiful white flowers
in springtime. It will need food and water though!
The dogwood is a classic spring flowering tree that is native to Florida.
Purple Leaf Plum -
After a burst of snow white flowers in spring, this tree puts out its deep purple
leaves that will add color throughout the year to your landscape.
Japanese Magnolia - Also called the tulip tree, because of the large tulip-like flowers that emerge in spring, this flowering tree puts on a show that is bound to get a standing ovation. As the tree ages, the flowers become a darker pink color.
