Best Flowering Trees

 Flowering trees are among the most prized specimens of the yard, making a bold statement and often heralding the return of warmer weather in northern climates. Any tree serves to help form the "backbone" of the landscape, but flowering trees add pizazz to a yard in a way that few other plants can match. 

Hydrangea   is a plant variously thought of as a small tree or tall shrub, reaching 20 feet in height. This small flowering tree is a broadleaf evergreen that produces white or deep pink blossoms. It blooms periodically through the season, though most heavily in May and June.Oleander is suited for USDA hardiness zones 8 to 10, although some varieties will tolerate light frost. Grow them in full sun. These are poisonous plants, though, so be wary of planting them where children or pets can get at them. The toxicity, though, makes them immune to deer.
