Adding a flowering tree to a residential or commercial space can enhance the yard’s appearance.  Our arborist team at Fannin Tree Farm offers a wide selection of high-quality trees. Here is more information about the top five summer flowering trees:

Vitex Trees

The Vitex tree is a flowering tree with green leaves that produces purple flowers in both the summer and the fall. This flower growth appears as a spike. The tree grows quickly, and it is able to exist in a variety of soils and climates. It is both drought- and pest-resistant, creating durability and helping prevent damage to the tree.

This tree reaches between 10 and 20 feet at full maturity, and it requires full sunlight. The summer heat allows the Vitex tree to produce more colorful flowers. Meeting with an arborist for a tour of the tree lot allows you to see the different types of trees and the Vitex growth up close. Fannin Tree Farm gives you the option to hand-select your trees.

Desert Willow Trees

Desert Willows are able to withstand summer heat. It has a long flowering period, growing flowers in shades ranging from light pink to light violet. These resemble orchids. The flowers come from new branch growth, and pruning helps with this process. When pruning your trees, avoid leaving stubs for insect growth and cut outside the collar of the branch, at the base of the tree limb. Fannin Tree Farm is able to provide tree pruning services, including structural pruning and crown cleaning.

Crepe Myrtle Trees

The Crepe Myrtle tree has light-colored bark. The leaves change color in the fall, changing to red and yellow. Flower colors include:

  • Red
  • White
  • Pink
  • Lavender

This deciduous tree reaches between 10 and 20 feet at maturity, and it has a growth rate of 1.5 to 2.5 feet every year. To determine what size and type of tree you are looking for, see if your chosen tree farm offers free consultations. We are able to meet with you to help you with the tree selection process; bringing pictures of the landscape provides an arborist with more information about the area and available space.

DD Blanchard Southern Magnolia Trees

DD Blanchard Southern Magnolia trees are evergreen trees that offer long leaves and white flowers. It grows at a rate of one foot per year and reaches between 60 and 70 feet at maturity, functioning as a shade tree. This gives you a cooler space to sit under on a warm day. A team from a tree farm is able to install your DD Blanchard Southern Magnolia tree for you. We stake the tree, create a tree well, and mulch it.

For an interior landscape, install a Little Gem Magnolia tree. This type of tree produces larger white flowers that are around eight inches. Our website includes pictures of the leaves and flowers of our available trees, allowing you to see whether the tree complements the other landscaping in the space.
