  • Extended blooms from early spring through summer
  • Lush summer foliage that provides shade and privacy
  • Fall color in fiery reds, oranges, and golden yellows

How To Choose The Best Flowering Tree For Your Yard

Selecting the right flowering tree ensures years of beauty with minimal frustration. Consider these key factors:

  1. Hardiness Zone: Enter your zip code to confirm compatibility (we ship trees for zones 3-9)
  2. Mature Size: Choose small flowering trees (under 15 feet) for tight spaces or go larger for shade
  3. Sunlight Requirements: Most prefer full sun (6+ hours), but some tolerate shade
  4. Soil & Drainage: Match the tree to your site conditions or amend as needed
  5. Bloom Time: Plan for early spring, mid-spring, or summer-flowering varieties
  6. Special Features: Look for low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, or deer-resistant options if needed

Pro tip: Plant multiple varieties with staggered bloom times to enjoy flowers from March through August!

When To Plant Flowering Trees

The best time to plant flowering trees is during dormancy: early spring (before bud break) or fall (6-8 weeks before first frost). Spring planting gives trees a full growing season to establish, while fall planting takes advantage of cooler weather and winter root development.

For most zones, March through May and September through October are ideal windows. Check your local frost dates and give trees time to settle in before temperature extremes arrive.

FAQ's for Buying Flowering Trees Online

When is the best time to plant flowering trees?

The best time to plant flowering trees is during dormancy: early spring (March-April) before buds break or fall (September-October) about 6-8 weeks before your first frost date. Spring planting gives trees a full growing season to establish strong root systems, while fall planting takes advantage of cooler weather and allows roots to develop over winter. Most flowering trees can be planted successfully in either season, but spring is ideal if you're in zones 3-5 with harsh winters. Container-grown trees from Nature Hills can be planted any time during the growing season, though you'll need to provide extra water during hot summer months. Avoid planting during temperature extremes or when the ground is frozen. Plant bareroot trees in early spring only, while they're still fully dormant!

What are the fastest growing flowering trees?

Fast-growing flowering trees can add 3-5 feet per year and provide quick results for new landscapes. Top performers include: Tulip Poplar (3-5 ft/year) with unique tulip-shaped flowers, Royal Empress Tree (10-15 ft/year) with stunning purple blooms in zones 5-9, Flowering Pear (2-3 ft/year) with white spring blooms and excellent form, Yoshino Cherry (2-3 ft/year) with classic pink-white clouds of flowers, and Crape Myrtle (2-4 ft/year) with summer blooms in zones 7-9. Keep in mind that fast growth often means trees need regular watering and fertilizing during establishment. Browse our fast-growing tree collection to find varieties that deliver quick impact without sacrificing beauty!

Which flowering trees are best for small yards or front yards?

Small flowering trees (15 feet or under) are perfect for creating curb appeal without overwhelming limited space. Our top picks for compact landscapes include: Dwarf Korean Lilac Tree (8-10 ft) with intensely fragrant purple blooms, Stella Pink Dogwood (15 ft) with abundant spring flowers and four-season interest, Prairifire Crabapple (15 ft) that's disease-resistant with stunning pink blooms, Oklahoma Redbud (15-20 ft) that's heat-tolerant with magenta spring flowers, and Japanese Snowbell (15-20 ft) with delicate white bell-shaped blooms. These varieties work beautifully as front yard focal points, near patios, or in foundation plantings. Look for naturally compact forms or select dwarf cultivars to avoid constant pruning. Filter our collection by "Small" under size options to see all compact choices!

Which flowering trees are deer resistant?

Deer-resistant flowering trees help protect your investment in areas with heavy browsing pressure. While no tree is 100% deer-proof when food is scarce, these varieties are consistently avoided: Magnolia Trees (deer dislike the leathery leaves and flowers), Kousa Dogwood (more resistant than native dogwoods), Japanese Tree Lilac (fragrant flowers deer find unappealing), Fringe Tree (wispy blooms and foliage texture deer avoid), and Golden Rain Tree (bitter compounds make it unpalatable). For best results, plant deer-resistant varieties in combination, use physical barriers during establishment, and apply repellents in spring when new growth is most vulnerable. Check out our deer-resistant plants guide for additional protection strategies!

What flowering trees bloom the longest or bloom all summer?

For extended color beyond spring, choose summer-blooming flowering trees or varieties with exceptionally long bloom periods. Longest Spring Bloomers (3-4 weeks) include Crabapple Trees with flowers lasting into early summer, Serviceberry with white blooms persisting for weeks, and Hawthorn with long-lasting clusters. Summer-Flowering Trees include Crape Myrtle in zones 7-9 blooming June-September for up to 120 days, Japanese Tree Lilac with creamy white flowers in June-July, Golden Rain Tree with yellow cascades in July, and Southern Magnolia with large white blooms May-August. Pro tip: Plant a mix of early, mid, and late-season bloomers to enjoy continuous flowers from March through August. Check the "Bloom Time" filter in our collection to plan your succession display!
