10. Snowbell
Another plant that will make your yard look more delicate, warm, and beautiful is the small tree called Snowbell. It has a subtle and elegant allure that will make everyone who passed by it stop and look at it for a few seconds.
The Snowbell produces some charming white bell-shaped flowers that hang from the branches among the leaves. It releases a subtle spring smell that will completely surround your garden and its white blossoms turned into blue-gray fruits when the fall comes.
And the flowers are not the only ones that change colors. The pure green of the leaves becomes a reddish-yellow that looks amazing among other fall plants.

Had a Japanese Maple in Woodland Hills, CA. It was supposed to be a miniature but it got reallly big. It was a beauty when the seasons changed. I do miss it.
Surprised to see the first picture of One I had out in California.
I forgot it’s name and wanted to get one for the NY area
I like Rose of Sharon aka Althea. It comes in several colors—white, purple and pink are the colors I’m familiar with. It can be trimmed to look more tree-like or allowed to grow as a bush. My mother grew them when I was young.
Which trees will grow on a wind swept, open hill 200 feet from the Bay of Fundy?
I have crepe myrtles – but his year (first time in about 40 years) the bark scale invaded our neighborhood – any recommendations for what to do – sprayed with Neem oil – and cut severely infected branches.
Would be helpful if the zones the trees will grow in were included.
Add Powder Puff.
