Ah, let me tell you about them trees with white flowers in springtime. Every year, when the weather starts warmin’ up, them trees get to bloomin’, and oh boy, it’s a sight! Now, there’s all kinds of trees that bloom white flowers, so let’s talk ’bout a few of ’em, one by one.
First off, we got them Snowdrops, or what them fancy folks call “Galanthus nivalis”. These lil’ flowers hang down like drops of milk, only about 4 to 6 inches high. Real small things, but they start bloomin’ early in spring. You’ll see them when the snow still tryin’ to melt away, pokin’ up through the dirt like they got somewhere important to be.
Next up, there’s the Shogetsu Cherry, one of them Japanese cherry trees. Now, this one’s a real show-off. It don’t start bloomin’ ’til late April or even May, but when it does, it’s got big, real white flowers with more than 20 petals. And the leaves? They’re a bright green color, makin’ the whole thing look fresh and pretty as can be. Ain’t no way you can miss it when it starts bloomin’. Folks say the trees look like they’re covered in snow, but it’s all them white flowers.
Another one that folks around here like is the Serviceberry. Now this tree ain’t just about the flowers, though those white blooms in spring sure do catch your eye. It’s got berries that come after the flowers, good for makin’ pies or whatnot. And in the fall, them leaves turn orange and red, so it’s a tree that gives you somethin’ to look at all year round. But in spring, it’s them white flowers that steal the show.
Then there’s the White Dogwood. Oh, folks love that tree! It’s got them bright white blooms in spring that people just can’t get enough of. Real pretty, this one. And it ain’t just good for spring either, it’s one of them trees that keep lookin’ good all year long. In summer, it’s still nice, and come fall, it puts on a real show with its leaves. But when it blooms them white flowers in spring, oh boy, it’s like the whole yard lights up.
Now, if you’re thinkin’ about plantin’ one of these trees with white flowers in your yard, you gotta think about where you’re at and how much space you got. Some of ’em get real big, like the Dogwood, while others, like the Snowdrop, are smaller and easier to manage. And don’t forget the soil – some trees are picky ’bout where they grow. But once you got ’em in the right spot, they’ll bloom every spring like clockwork.
There’s also the Magnolia. Oh, I almost forgot that one! Magnolias are them big trees with big ol’ flowers, and in spring, you’ll see ‘em with white or even pinkish flowers. They’re real fancy lookin’, like somethin’ out of a picture book. But they grow pretty slow, so you gotta be patient if you’re plantin’ one of these.
Another one is the Crabapple. Now, you’d think it’s just for apples, but nah, in springtime, it puts out them white blooms that make the whole tree look like it’s covered in snow. Some folks even grow ’em just for the flowers. Later, when them little apples come in, they’re more for the birds than for eatin’, but that’s alright. The flowers are what folks care about in spring.
So, if you’re lookin’ to fill your yard with some nice, white blooms come springtime, you got plenty of choices. Whether it’s somethin’ small like them Snowdrops or somethin’ big and showy like the White Dogwood or Shogetsu Cherry, there’s a tree for every yard. And once they bloom, you’ll be glad you planted ’em, I promise you that!
So go on, get to plantin’, and next spring, you’ll have the prettiest yard in the whole neighborhood. And remember, all them trees need is a little love, some water, and patience, and they’ll bloom those pretty white flowers every year without fail.
