The season for flowering trees is not only Spring time! Summer has some spectacular and almost forgotten flowering trees. Some are more remarkably beautiful than others but all create a mood of their own and convey the essence of the seasons in their leaves.
The best flowering trees offer more than just curb appeal! Their flowers attract pollinators, their fruits feed birds and small animals. They frame and shape the perspective of your landscaping and sparkle with life and promise. All of them big or small draw us in the garden to walk and savor the smells of the season.
When choosing trees for your Kansas City landscaping next year, don't forget your summer and early fall blossoms, so there is a sequence of bloom to look forward to. Also, consider fun leaf shapes, unique wood structure, snazzy fall color, and glistening bright berries.
There is so much enchantment in flowering trees. Here, in the order in which they bloom, are a few choices for your beautiful Kansas City landscapes!
