Flowering Trees

'Tis the season for blossoms! I've gathered a few pictures from here and there and thought it would be fun to show you what you are seeing in bloom right now.

Malus: Crabapples

'Spring Snow'

(We just bought three of these for our yard and I'm so excited!)

'Floribunda'

Pyrus calleryanna 'Chanticleer': Flowering Pear

These are popular street trees and you can spot them everywhere you go.

They are tall and columnar, and they're about to burst forth in white glory!

(We also just bought three of these!)

Forsythia

I'm cheating a little on this one because it's a shrub, but it's yellow blooms are abundant right now so I wanted to mention it. This happy hill was spotted at BYU last week.


Prunus serrulata: Japanese Cherry, many varieties!




Wisteria
I've mentioned before this is one of my very favorites! As soon as I have something it can climb I will have one in my yard!


WillowThis is not a flowering tree but I just had to mention it because it's one of the first trees you'll see turning green and leafing out every spring. It's a sure sign the world is waking up and it makes me happy!

Just as a side note, if you are looking for trees this spring make sure you check your local Home Depot, and do it quick! They have some smoking deals on beautiful trees right now (really, like a fraction of the prices you would pay at a nursery). As you can see we couldn't pass them up!
