Our Flowering Trees are in and Looking Beautiful

Our flowering trees are looking beautiful, and now is the time to get your flowering peaches, flowering cherries, and those beautiful crabapples and more. Green Thumb Nurseries offer a range of flowering trees from fruit-bearing to ornamentals. Talk to our experts about planting landscaping that provides year-round color or small-plot orchards that offer a variety of blossoms. You can also opt for an orchard that produces fruit from spring through late fall.

Every spring we are reminded of the beauty offered by flowering trees and shrubs but keep in mind that many offer amazing fall colors too. With a little planning, you can create year-round color and grow fresh fruit for your family to enjoy.

Flowering trees offer a spring burst of color and texture that rival many flowering plants because of their large canopies of blooms that range from pure white to creamy ivory colors and from pinks and oranges into deep reds and maroons.

Top choices for amazing color include:

These are all ancient relatives of the roses, and their blooms are small clusters of soft petals in gorgeous hews.

On a more significant level, the color palette offered by flowering trees is so broad that homeowners can pretty much “paint” their spring landscape in broad brushstrokes of flowers. One of the more beautiful aspects of these blossoms is the delicate way in which color blends from the outer petals to inner petals in variegations from white to rose pink or soft creams to bright oranges. The flowering tree color options for landscapes are impressive.

If you are looking for ways to improve the early spring colors of your yard now is a great time to plant flowering trees. You can shop with Green Thumb Nurseries online, in person, or by phone. If you need a particular color, give us a call, and we might be able to order trees for you or point you to our in-stock selection. Just keep in mind that the best time to plant flowering trees is before they bloom.
