Accent Your Yard with a Flowering Tree
The brilliant blooms of crabapples are a staple in Maine landscapes
You'll find flowering trees serving as focal anchors in landscapes all over Maine.
Ranging from crabapples, cherries, flowering pears, dogwoods and many more, these trees are a great way to add winter interest and wild life attraction to your yard while you enjoy spectacular blooms from late April right thru the end of the gardening season.
With true dwarf varieties along with majestic specimens, there's a flowering tree made for every situation. Here are a few of our favorites at Estabrook's:
Magnolias

Our native Shadblow Serviceberry (Amelanchier) is also one to remember when it comes to spring blooms. The added bonus of berries will also attract more birds later in the season.
Flowering Pears and Cherries
With masses of white and pink blooms, these delicate flowering trees are next to bloom and create a spring snow storm as the blossoms start to fall.
