1. Magnolias

These are by far some of the most beautiful and fragrant trees to add to your landscaping. There are several varieties of magnolias, some even small enough to be grown in containers.

Magnolias tend to bloom in mid-summer to early autumn. They also produce cone-shaped fruit with brightly colored seeds that tend to attract songbirds.

2. Crepe Myrtles

These trees are highly sought after for their large clusters of blooms and attractive bark. They can be a variety of colors including pinks, reds, whites, and purples. They only grow to be about 15-20 ft tall, making it a great choice if you’re low on space.

They are also a popular choice for their tendency to grow quickly. You can typically expect 24in. of growth per year. They are also great for attracting pollinators.

3. Smoke Trees

These are unusual but strikingly beautiful trees and are sure to be the topic of conversation with guests. These trees have unusual flowers that form pink flowers above the leaves to look like puffs of pink smoke.

This variety grows to be about 15 feet tall making it a good option for smaller spaces as well.

4. Green Giant Arborvitae

These evergreens grow fast and are easy to keep healthy. They can grow up to 3 feet per year and grow up to 60 feet. They also require very little maintenance, making them easy to take care of.

Their attractive conical shape makes this tree a great focal point. Or frame a porch with them and plant flowers around their perimeter for even more curb appeal.

They are also very resistant to cold weather and ice. They are also highly wind-resistant once established, making them a great option for a natural windbreak.
