Ornamental Tree with Spring Color

  • Spring Flowers
  • 4 Season Interest
  • Wildlife Appeal
  • Showy Blossoms

The Eastern Whitebud is an ornamental tree with stunning spring color. Plant several along the street or driveway for a colorful spring display, or just one as a specimen tree in the front yard.

The best feature of this tree is perhaps the extravagant show of blossoms it produces in the spring.

The sweet-pea like, white flowers bloom profusely, covering the bare branches at first, and then sharing the space with the adorable heart-shaped leaves that emerge as a perfect romantic blending of hearts and flowers.

Even when the flowers fade, the 5-inch, heart-shaped leaves remain a lovely summer-long addition to an already decorative tree.

When the summer draws to a close, your Eastern Whitebud changes into its yellow foliage until the leaves drop for winter. With its leaves gone, the 3-inch seedpods are revealed on the reddish stems for some winter color in the barren landscape.

Your Eastern Whitebud will grow up to 18-25 foot tall and can spread 15-18 foot in an upright vase shape eventually maturing with a flat topped canopy. Many like to grow this plant as a low branched or even shrub form plant where the month-long flower display can be up front and personal.

It's adaptable to many soil types and conditions, and is generally easy to grow. As an added benefit, your wildlife will appreciate the fall/winter seedpods, and bees and butterflies will likewise arrive for the spring flowers.

Your Whitebud is a lovely tree that will certainly be an asset to your yard and a friend to your wildlife. Plant several today and begin enjoying the rare treasure that is the Eastern Whitebud. Order your Eastern Whitebud today!
