The bare space in your yard or around your business could really use some color, but how do you decide what would be the best tree to put there? Flowering trees add elegance and beauty to a landscape year-round, but especially in the spring when they begin to bloom. If you want to brighten up your landscape, consider the following when choosing a flowering tree:
- Shape, size, and general appearance of the tree
- What season it blooms and how big the flowers become
- Healthcare and maintenance requirements for the tree, including levels of sunlight, water, shade, and pest control needed to keep the tree healthy
- The amount of autumn maintenance and cleanup you are willing to do once the leaves begin to fall
There are several varieties of flowering tree that are perfect for the Kansas City climate and soil. From crabapples to cherries, dogwoods to magnolias, there are plenty of options to suit your particular preferences and landscaping needs.
