1. Redbud

This small tree will make your garden look like it’s straight out of a fairytale, thanks to its beautiful pink or white flowers that blossom in the spring. It is not hard to grow and it has amazing heart-shaped leaves that turn golden-yellow in autumn.

It can grow up to 10 feet tall and it needs sun and also some shade and well-drained soil in order to impress anyone with its beauty and naturalness. If you want to have a pop of color and make your home look more welcoming, Redbud is definitely the small tree you need!

…Do you like the look of this plant? We adore it!

    Would be helpful if the zones the trees will grow in were included.

    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.

    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.

    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.
