Flowering Trees 
There is probably no group of deciduous plants as 
popular or well known as this one. Their interesting habits 
of growth, with glossy foliage combined with gorgeous 
blossoms in the spring, and followed by attractive fruit of 
many colors in late summer and fall, make them an all- 
year-round satisfaction. Flowering Trees are very often 
best planted in combination with evergreens, as illustrated 
above. The evergreens act as a perfect foil for the beauty 
of the blossom and fruit. Trees in this group thrive in 
almost all kinds of soil, and most varieties are very hardy. 
They flower best in full or partial sunshine.
