5 Flowering Trees to Beautify Your Lawn
A flowering tree can really transform a landscape. Not only do they increase the curb appeal of your property, but they also support the local pollinators and ecology.
We’ve put together a list of some of our favourite flowering trees.
Toba Hawthorn
Special Features
Ivory Silk Japanese Lilac
We had a lilac tree in our backyard growing up and it’s one of the most vivid memories I have of our yard. The arrival of the fragrant clusters of flowers always signified the end of a school year and the beginning of summer. The Ivory Silk variety puts a spin on the classic lilac tree with its creamy white flowers.
Special Features
Lots of fragrant flowers!
Drought resistant
Small, compact, great for small spaces
Thunderchild Crabapple
If your clients want a flowering tree then this is it. This compact variety has so much going for it in terms of colour: deep purple leaves year round, orange-yellow fall color, pink flowers … Anyone who wants something bright and exciting in their yard will love the Thunderchild Crabapple.
