Planting a tree with attractive, showy flowers is an easy, low maintenance way of adding colour and excitement to your garden.

Selecting the right flowering tree is quite important as it will be part of the landscape for a long time, so take your time and choose carefully.

Tips for selecting a flowering tree for your garden

One of the most important factors to consider is the tree's adaptability to the climate. Choose a tree that is best suited to your region. If you are located in the highveld, fynbos, bushveld - plant locally indigenous trees.
Consider the size of the tree at maturity. Flowering trees grow in various shapes and sizes, and choosing the correctly shaped tree will greatly reduce maintenance effort and complement your yard.

Selecting the perfect planting site is also crucial to the tree's growth, health and performance. Generally, flowering trees enjoy full sun (8 hours) and fertile, well-draining soils.
