The Crabapple Tree With Four-Season Interest

Welcome spring to your garden by planting the Snowdrift Crabapple. This ornamental, compact tree has fragrant and abundant white flowers that bloom from April to May, attracting both bees and butterflies. The leaves turn a glossy green in the summer and a warm yellow in the fall. 

Come fall, the Snowdrift Crabapple produces orange-red fruit that is great for making jams and jellies. The fruit stays on all winter long, even attracting birds. Snowdrift Crab Apple trees have a dense growth habit, producing beautiful ornamental trees suitable for urban and cottage-inspired gardens.

The Snowdrift Crabapple is very low-maintenance, requiring little pruning and shaping. It’s cold-hardy and disease-resistant, making it the ideal addition for difficult gardens that still want a large visual impact.

The Snowdrift Crabapple is a must-have four-season show-off. Add yours to your garden by ordering online today! 

Planting & Care

1. Planting:  Select a location for your Snowdrift Crabapple that receives full sunlight and has well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the size of the tree’s root ball. Place the tree in the hole, backfilling the soil while carefully holding the tree trunk straight.

Add a layer of mulch to conserve moisture, making sure that no mulch directly touches the tree trunk. Give the tree a good watering.

2. Watering: Snowdrift Crabapple trees have average watering needs—water frequently in the first year after planting until the tree is established. Once established, the tree is drought tolerant.

3. Fertilizing: Add a balanced fertilizer designed for fruiting trees annually in early spring.

4. Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Remove any damaged or diseased wood. To trim for shape, remove vertical branches and shorten side branches in late winter.

5. Pollination: The Snowdrift Crabapple is self-fertile, meaning only one plant is required for fruiting. Providing an additional crabapple tree can increase the fruit yield.

Welcome Spring with Sunny, Tropical Blooms!

Why Yellow Trumpet Trees?

A native of South America, the flowering Yellow Trumpet Tree makes an excellent landscape specimen or patio tree. With bright yellow blooms atop a signature asymmetrical form, this easy-growing tree adds tropical color to even the toughest landscape areas.

The Yellow Trumpet Tree, or Tabebuia caraiba, blooms in early spring with clusters of trumpet-shaped golden-yellow flowers. The flowers are some of the first to welcome spring - and they attract bees, hummingbirds, and other insects to your garden. And while this semi-evergreen tree will maintain its attractive, silvery foliage for most of the year, it will drop its leaves before blooming.

This flowering tree is ideal for adding a splash of color along streets or driveways in warmer climates, since it's incredibly heat- and drought-tolerant and can grow in nearly any soil.

Live in a cooler climate but still want tropical blooms? Just plant your Yellow Trumpet Tree in a large patio container, and bring it indoors when temperatures drop.

Why FastGrowingTrees.com is Better

You won't find this unique tropical tree at your local nursery or garden center. And the best part? When you order your Yellow Trumpet Tree from FastGrowingTrees.com, you benefit from our tried-and-true process. We nurture, grow and ship your Trumpet Tree with care, so you get a well-developed tree that delivers results, year after year.

Other nurseries offer bare-root varieties. But with FastGrowingTrees.com, you get a Yellow Trumpet Tree with robust roots and better branching, that's ready to thrive in your landscape on day one.

Add vibrant tropical color to your yard with this easy-growing tree. Get your Yellow Trumpet Tree today!

Planting & Care

Plant your Yellow Trumpet Tree in a hole that is twice the width of the root ball, and just as deep. Place your tree and begin backfilling the hole, tamping down as you go to prevent air pockets. Place a thick layer of mulch over the planting area to protect the roots from fluctuating temperatures, as well as help the tree to conserve water. Finally, water the tree well to saturate the entire planting area.

If you live outside growing zones 10-11, you can plant your Trumpet Tree in a container, moving it indoors when temperatures drop to 50 degrees. Select a container 1-2 sizes larger than its shipped container, place your plant, and backfill with potting mix.

2. Watering: Your Yellow Trumpet Tree will exhibit impressive drought tolerance once established. While establishing, water once or twice weekly. Once established, the trees will only need water during times of extreme drought. Water container-planted Pink Trumpet Trees more regularly.

3. Fertilizing: Trumpet Trees need very little fertilizer, but if you want to speed up growth, you can use a well balanced, slow-release formula, such a 10-10-10, in early spring.

4. Pruning: Your Yellow Trumpet Tree will naturally grow into an asymmetrical form, with two or three dominant trunks. However, you can prune to control size and shape as needed, and to remove broken branches. Container-planted Trumpet Trees can be treated as bonsai.

Easy Tropical Growth and Unbeatable Color

Why Pink Trumpet Trees?

Add a gorgeous, tropical specimen tree to your landscape with the Pink Trumpet Tree. The Pink Trumpet, or Tabebuia heterophylla, is a long-lived tree with a neat, pyramidal habit and a spectacular display of bright pink blooms.

The Pink Trumpet adds unbeatable color to warm-weather landscapes, with a carpet of showy pink flowers that bloom from spring through summer, covering the tree. Vibrant, bell-shaped flowers are offset by warm, sunny-yellow centers. And while this semi-evergreen maintains its glossy foliage for most of the year, it will drop its leaves briefly before flowering.

And while this tree loves the warmth and humidity of tropical climates, it's low-maintenance and easy to grow. It's tolerant of nearly any well-draining soil, with impressive resistance to drought and urban conditions. Live in a cooler climate? No problem. Just plant your Pink Trumpet Tree in a container and overwinter it indoors.

A moderate grower, the Pink Trumpet Tree perfect for planting in tough areas with limited space, including along streets or close to driveways. It will also thrive in containers, adding vibrant color to patios and porches!

4. Pruning: Your Pink Trumpet Tree will naturally grow into a neat, pyramidal form. However, you can prune to encourage high, arching branches by removing lower, drooping branches.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Start by finding an area with full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight) and well-drained soil. You can also select a container with drainage holes for planting your Little Lime® Hydrangea Tree.

Once you’ve selected a location, dig a hole that’s around twice the size of your plant’s root ball and just as deep. Place the tree, tamp down the soil and water to settle the roots. Apply mulch after planting to conserve moisture in the area.

2. Watering: We recommend checking your soil about 2 to 3 inches down for dryness. If the soil around your Hydrangea is dry, water the plant. Watering about once or twice weekly is a good rule of thumb until your plant is established.

3. Fertilizing: Feed your plant with a general-purpose fertilizer regularly during the growing season and follow label instructions for best results.

4. Pruning: Prune your Hydrangea annually in the late winter – since blooms emerge from new wood, this helps promote vigorous growth.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Because your Chinese Fringe Tree needs an area with full to partial sun, select a planting location that receives about 4 to 8 hours of sunlight per day (and ensure the soil is well-drained). Dig a hole twice as wide and deep as your tree’s root ball, place it in the hole, and back fill with remaining soil and any compost you’d like to incorporate. Finally, tamp around the base of the tree to remove air pockets and water to settle the roots.

2. Watering: Establish a regular watering schedule during the first season after planting. We recommend watering your tree about once weekly, or when your tree’s surrounding soil is dry. Check for soil dryness about 2 to 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it’s time to water.

However, your weekly watering schedule may be decreased after the tree is established.

3. Fertilizing: Feed your Chinese Fringe Tree with a balanced fertilizer in the spring, before new growth emerges.

4. Pruning: Remove any dead, diseased or damaged branches, as well as any branches that grow towards the center of the tree or cross other branches, during winter.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Select a spot with well-drained soil and full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day) for optimal blooming. After you have found your planting area, make your hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Carefully remove the Myrtle’s root ball from the container, place it into the hole and make sure that the root crown (where the root ball meets the trunk of the tree) is level with the soil surface.
Tamp down the soil lightly as you backfill the hole to prevent air pockets from forming and then water after you’ve finished to settle the soil. Mulch the area around the tree to conserve water moisture and deter competing weeds.

2. Watering: After planting your young tree, water about once or twice each week until it’s established. If you live in an especially hot climate, you may need to water up to five times weekly. During the cooler seasons, you’ll only need to water once weekly.

If you’re not sure when to water, simply check your surrounding soil with your finger – if the soil is dry 3 or 4 inches down, it’s time to water.

3. Fertilizing: Your Enduring Summer Crape will benefit from a light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the early spring and summer. Follow label instructions when fertilizing your Crape.

4. Pruning: You won’t need to prune your Enduring Summer Crape Myrtle unless you’d like to shape it. To encourage branching, make your cuts, with clean shears, on the longer, leggy limbs. Remove any damaged, diseased, or crossing branches during the late winter. Also, remove any low-growing branches (also known as suckers) if you’d like a more upright, tree-like look.

The Space Saving Flowering Cherry With Tons of Color

Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry Trees are popular all across the nation because they display multiple seasons of color in even the smallest landscapes. By only growing to about 15 feet tall they can fit anywhere.

They are the perfect choice for planting in rows along a property border or close to structures like driveways or sidewalks because they won’t take over space. However, with their unforgettable beauty, they are most often used as accent pieces or the main focal point of flowering gardens.

Snow Fountain Weeping Cherries have elegant arching branches that become covered in thousands of pure white blossoms every spring. The flowers cover the tree from top to bottom, causing it to look like a large water fountain that’s completely frozen over.

During the warmer seasons, the canopy becomes filled with lush, glossy green leaves that turn vibrant shades of orange and gold in the fall. In the winter the Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry still displays color with its mahogany trunk that stands in the empty winter landscape.

The blossoms attract important pollinators like butterflies and your landscape, which are a delight to watch as they flutter from bloom to bloom. They will pollinate your Weeping Cherry tree as well as other flowering plants in your garden.

Low maintenance Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry Trees are a favorite among the north and snow because they’re cold hardy and heat resistant. They are cold hardy to zone 5 and will flourish under heavy layers of ice and snow. Your summers will be worry-free while your drought-tolerant Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry Tree flourishes without the need to be constantly checked on.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Select a location with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day).

Dig a hole for that’s three times as wide and equal in depth as the root ball. Remove your tree from its original container, position it into the hole ensuring that it’s standing upright, and the top of the root ball is even with the ground.

Begin backfilling the hole, tamping down lightly as you go. Once the hole has been completely filled, water to allow the soil to settle and eliminate any air pockets. Finally, apply a 3 to 5-inch layer of mulch around the tree.

2. Watering: We recommend watering these trees in the morning, at the base. If you’re not sure when to water, simply check the top 2 inches of soil for dryness. If the soil is dry here, it’s time to water your tree.

3. Fertilizing: Apply a slow-release fertilizer once a year in early spring, before new growth emerges. Follow up by watering the surrounding soil to allow the fertilizer to penetrate into the roots.

4. Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed for these trees. Any broken branches can be pruned back in spring before new growth begins.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Choose a planting site for your Dogwood with well-drained soil and full to partial sun (4 to 6 hours of sunlight with some afternoon shade).

Dig a planting hole for your dogwood that is two times the width of your tree’s root ball and just as deep. Place your tree in the planting hole, keeping the top of the root ball even with the ground. Backfill your soil, water to settle the roots, and tamp down the surrounding soil.

Finally, mulch around the base of the tree to conserve soil moisture.

2. Watering: Water your tree weekly or check the surrounding soil for dryness. If your soil is dry about 3 or 4 inches down, water the area.

FGT Tip: Lighter green leaves are a sign of overwatering, while drooping leaves can signal underwatering.

3. Fertilizing: Dogwood Trees do not require feeding, but if you use fertilizer, feed your tree in April or May with any general-purpose fertilizer.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Choose a location where your tree will receive full sunlight (at least 6 hours a day). It can tolerate some shade, but does best when getting full sunlight. It’s able to grow in a wide range of soils, but be sure the soil is well-draining/

Dig a hole for your tree that is at least three times as wide as the root ball and equal in depth. Remove your tree from the container and gently loosen the roots by hand to ensure they grow in a spreading manner. Place your tree in the hole and position it so that the top of the roots are even with the ground and the tree is standing upright. Once the hole is completely filled, give your tree a deep watering to remove any air pockets and settle the soil. Apply 2 to 3 inches of mulch around the tree, ensuring that it doesn’t touch the trunk.

2. Watering: Ensure the soil around your tree stays moist but not wet during the first few months while establishing. Test the soil by feeling down 2 to 3 inches to determine if it’s dry and needs additional water. These trees are fairly drought resistant once established and will only need water every 1 to 2 weeks, depending on your climate.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilizing is not recommended - the Royal Purple Smoke Tree grows well on its own.

4. Pruning: Little to no maintenance is required when growing it as a shrub. Any dead or diseased branches can be pruned in early spring before growth appears. They can be pruned to grow as a tree form, but this should be done when planting. To do this, select a main stem and prune the other branches away, keeping more growth at the top.
