Avoid pear trees.

Dogwoods are also beautiful. Eastern redbuds. Apple trees have beautiful blossoms also.

Just a word of caution on this one - as pretty as it is, it's becoming invasive in Eastern North America, so if you are considering planting, try to avoid this one!

Ok so I know the famous whitish cherry trees. Looks like there's also a pink version?

And that lotus-type tree….looks like two types, a darker color purple and a ivory/pale pink version?

And the pale pink tree with the drooping fronds (like a weeping willow style)

And this white/ivory…daisy-like tree

and anything else…or links to pictures would be great!

TIA!


OP, thanks for reminding us how pretty spring is here. [/quote]

Why does the Bradford pear tree smell awful when it blooms?

I love those. Our old neighbors in Arlington had one and I've got a nice picture of DS in his stroller in front of it.

Now we live in Colorado and I so miss the DC area springtime! It usually doesn't green up here until May. It's snowing right now.
