Sounds like a real win-win, right?

There are a variety of flowering trees that will thrive in your Idaho Falls landscape, but it’s important you choose the right ones for your space.

Check out the benefits and best trees you can start enjoying on your property.

Benefits of Flowering Trees

Beyond providing seasonal color and livening up your outdoor space, flowering trees have some other important features, as well:

  • Emit floral scents
  • Attract wildlife
  • Provide shade for you and plants
  • Reduce water amounts needed for surrounding grass and plants
  • Add value

So if you want to start enjoying all of those things on your landscape, consider installing these four flowering trees that grow in Idaho Falls.

Chanticleer Pear

This tree definitely doesn’t disappoint with its generous amounts of flowers.

The Chanticleer pear tree has white blooms and produces little to no litter, so it’s especially ideal along streets or around other outdoor features.

The Chanticleer pear grows 25 to 35 feet tall and can have a spread of 16 to 25 feet. The tree requires full-sun conditions and blooms in April and May, and its leaves turn orange to red/purple during the fall.

It produces small fruit during the winter, giving you visual interest throughout the year.

Spring Snow Crabapple

Another white bloom option is the spring snow crabapple. It has fragrant flowers that come out in spring and showy foliage in the fall.
