9. Carolina Silverbell
Enjoy a great early-spring flower show from another small tree, called Carolina Silverbell. You can grow it as a large shrub or as a little tree, depending on your preferences.
Whatever decision you make, this plant will amaze you with its delicate clusters of white bell-shaped flowers. When the summer is over, the weather is more chilly and the colors are more vibrant, its foliage turns into a lovely shade of yellow.
If you want a tree like this but you don’t like white flowers, get the “Rosea” variety, because it has pretty pink flowers. Another option is the “Tyler’s Variegated”, which has several clusters of yellow and green foliage.
Add Powder Puff.
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.
Which trees will grow on a wind swept, open hill 200 feet from the Bay of Fundy?
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.
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
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.
