Johnsen Landscapes and Pools has created a gorgeous spring landscape using cherry trees. Even after the blooms have gone, the trees have lovely silhouettes, leaves and bark to enjoy.
If you want to stick with the milder side of pink, you might want to invest in a few fruit trees. From Japanese cherry to some varieties of apple and plum, many fruit trees have pink blossoms that abound in early to mid spring. Plant flowering fruit trees in tandem with Eastern redbuds and flowering almond bushes for a symphony of pink before summer.
Plant trees and shrubs. Beginning in September and moving into October and November is the preferred time to plant all trees and shrubs. Just like perennials, trees and shrubs that are planted in the fall will have the winter months to establish a deep root system. Their spring growth and drought resistance will be much better than if you plant them in the warmer months. Consider trees like Shumard red oak (Quercus shumardii) and crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia spp), and shrubs such as dwarf yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) and glossy abelia (Abelia grandiflora).
