About Flowering Trees

Nothing signals spring like a flowering tree in full bloom. One week the branches are bare, the next they're smothered in pink, white, lavender, or red — a show so big the whole neighborhood notices. Dogwoods, redbuds, cherries, magnolias, crabapples, and more each have their own moment, but together they turn the start of the season into weeks of color instead of days.

They give back long after the flowers fade. A good flowering tree isn't a one-week wonder. Many follow their blooms with fresh green leaves that deepen through summer, fiery fall color, and a graceful winter silhouette. Some set ornamental fruit that feeds songbirds; others throw fragrance you can smell across the yard. Pick the right one and you've added structure, shade, and a focal point that improves every year.

Choosing the right one

Start with size and timing. Compact redbuds and dogwoods suit smaller yards and tuck nicely under power lines; magnolias and flowering cherries make bold lawn specimens with room to spread. Stagger your bloom times — early magnolias, mid-season cherries and redbuds, later dogwoods and crabapples — and you'll have something flowering for much of spring. Most of these trees want full sun to part shade and well-drained soil, and they reward a little mulch and water while they settle in.

Shipped to arrive healthy. Every flowering tree is grown in our nursery network, inspected, and hand-packed in protective, season-aware packaging — and we honor the state-by-state agricultural rules that govern where nursery stock can ship.

Common questions

  • When do flowering trees bloom?

    Most put on their show in early to mid spring, though timing varies by type and climate. Magnolias and some cherries flower first, often before their leaves appear, followed by redbuds, dogwoods, and crabapples. Plant a mix and you can stretch the color across several weeks.

  • How big will a flowering tree get?

    It depends on the variety. Dogwoods and redbuds typically stay small to medium — perfect for tight spaces and under utility lines — while magnolias and flowering cherries can become substantial lawn specimens. Check the mature size of each tree and give it room to reach its full, natural shape.

  • How much sun do they need?

    Most flowering trees bloom best in full sun, with at least 6 hours of direct light a day. Several, like dogwoods and redbuds, also do well in part shade and even prefer some afternoon protection in hot climates. More sun generally means more flowers.

  • How long until a new tree flowers?

    Many flowering trees begin blooming within the first few years once they've established a healthy root system. Give a new tree consistent water its first season or two and let it settle in — the display gets fuller and more spectacular every year as the canopy fills out.

  • Can flowering trees ship to my state?

    Nursery stock is subject to agricultural shipping rules that vary by state. Those restrictions are built into fulfillment, so trees are only sent where they're allowed to go.
