Having a tree in the garden is something elegant, sophisticated… But so what tree with white flowers? It will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention during the flowering period. And the truth is that there are enough varieties to have not just one, but several of them.

Here we have prepared a list of trees with white flowers that you will love and you will definitely decide what your next garden purchase will be. Shall we start?

Cerezo Yoshino

This white-flowered tree is one of the cherry varieties that can be planted in the garden. The most striking are the white flowers that can be seen from March to April. Of course, it should be planted in a semi-shady placebecause it does not tolerate too much sun (especially in the southern part of Spain).

In terms of height, it can easily reach 12 meters as long as it has enough space to grow. If you have it in a pot, it will not exceed two meters.

Cornus «Eddies White Wonder»

Let’s move on to another variety of tree with white flowers, which is not very statuesque, making it suitable for compact gardens. The most handsome thing about this tree are the white flowersalthough in fact the flower is not these white petals but the bracts and only the center is what we can call the flower.

This is similar to other plants, which you will learn more about.

When it blooms, it blooms profuselyin such a way that it combines the lightweight green of its leaves with the white of the rest and creates a very immaculate effect, especially in the case of already enormous specimens.

We are, of course, talking about a tree that grows for a long time and is deciduous. It is very resistant to both icy and heat.

Black locust

Also known as false acacia, this is another white-flowered tree you can add to your garden, although keep in mind that it can grow up to 30 meters statuesque.

This tree with its caudal leaf can survive for over 200 years, and its most characteristic are its white flowers. However, these are not typical ones, because they come out in the form of clusters and have a very pleasant aroma. You won’t have them until spring, although the spectacle is worth it.

tree of Jupiter

Maybe with this name you don’t know what we are talking about. But if we talk about elderberry, mousse or crepe instead, everything can change. We are actually talking about Lagerstroemia indica, a tree that is not very enormous (it can reach eight meters in height) but is of medium height. It tolerates high temperatures very well, but also low temperatures and even frost.

And when does it bloom? This will take place during the spring and summer months. Its white flowers consist of six bell-shaped petals with curled edges. After them, a fruit will appear in the form of a black capsule containing the seeds of modern trees.

sweet tea tree

We still give you trees with white flowers and in this case we are talking about the one that is about eight meters high and has white flowers, but unlike the others it will have a yellow center. Therefore, if you want it to be pure white, you need to choose a different varietybut if not, it grows quickly and you can even choose two options: leave it as a tree or prune it and turn it into a bush.

large-flowered magnolia

Yes, it is a magnolia, not a magnolia, although it is better known by that name than by its own name. It is a tree from which magnolia flowers grow. They are quite enormous, some even a foot in diameter. And yes, they are white and give off an intoxicating aroma.

The only problem you will have with this white flowered tree is that the flowers will only last a few days. Of course it’s worth it, because watching them bloom is an experience, but the fact that it will soon lose its flowers may not compensate for the investment in its maintenance. Now its leaves are perennial and it can be combined with other varieties to combine intense green leaves with other shades.

It can reach thirty meters in heightbut again we are talking about a very slowly growing tree and for this reason it is more often kept in a pot, almost as a shrub, rather than as a tree.

Cow stain

No, we didn’t make a mistake with the name, this is the commonly known Bauhinia candicans, a tree native to the banks of the Uruguay River.

It is characterized primarily by leaves that are quite enormous. (they can measure more than ten centimeters), and also because of the flowering (very profuse in the spring and summer months).

It is not excessively high, so it is often used in gardens.

mimosa four seasons

Fuente_A garden square

Acacia longifolia is a slightly unusual tree species than those we have seen so far. It is a tree (although it is also called a shrub) reaching a height of ten meters.

It grows quite quickly, and the most striking thing is its perennial, greenish-gray leaves; just like its flowers, always at the end of winter, creamy-white in color with a quite noticeable scent. These are very compact flowers, but they grow almost from the branches, sometimes competing with the narrow and sleek leaves. In fact, they will look like fluff.

Taray

Finally, we want to talk about Taray, also known as Tamarix gallica, a tree with a tail leaf, but with profuse flowering that completely covers the tree with a white layer produced by the flowers it produces. In fact, You will think you see a tree with hanging flowers that will give it a magical look.

Therefore, you can create a stunning look in your garden.

As you can see, finding a tree with white flowers is effortless. Deciding on just one may not be so. AND we recommend placing several of them, if possible with flowers, at different times of the year, because this way you will always have some flowers and enjoy them. Is there anything else you recommend?
