Ok, can anyone find the hummingbird. It is in one of the trees. Thanks for watching.

Redbud has always been my favorite. I love driving during their time of blooming and seeing them peek out from all the dull gray masses of other tree trunks surrounding them. They are saying "yes, Spring is finally here".

Friendly FYI: "Minnesota Strain" Redbud was developed 40 miles from me at the MN . Perfect for zone 4!

Thank you for the video! I have planned on planting a flowering tree in remembrance of our baby we lost before Christmas that would have been due in the beginning of July. This is very helpful!

I'll look for the hummingbird. Just to let you know I have all five. I just added a Magnolia 'butterflies' in honor of the 50 years my wife and I have been married. The 50th is the gold anniversary so I wanted to get a "golden yellow" bloom. I would make the list 6 and add Japanese apricot (Prunus mume) because it blooms so early.

I'm on the east end of Long Island New York. You rarely see crepe myrtles in my area compared to the Southeast. Tons of japanese maples on my block, five huge magnolias (banging this week), hence we just ordered a dwarf crepe myrtle. Small yard so it will go well with the hydrangeas, rose of sharon, roses and azaleas. We have to mix in a lot of evergreen to keep our spirits up in the winter months. Thank you for sharing and will consider your ideas as loved all your suggestions.

I love all your choices but I wanted to add Vitex or Chaste tree!! Love the purple blooms and it’s such a pollinator magnet!!

I have the baby Flame Thrower Redbud and a couple of Cherry Blossoms. My biggest one is Kwazan. Wow her display of flowers late Spring is incredible. Thinking of getting the Eastern Redbud Forest Pansy.

I love my serviceberry. That tree is beautiful year round in color and form.

[frandavis]

My favorite is Gordlinia grandiflora. It is January and the leaves have turned brilliant red and are all still on the tree here in NW SC zone 8A. It bloomed beautiful white flowers with bright yellow stamens all summer long. Also love my Stewartia with its geometric branches zig-zagging to the sky. I planted it just last spring, so waiting to see how it does. I also bought and planted a Snowbell last spring named “Evening Light” with almost black leaves. Can’t wait to see it bloom this spring.

I like flowering gum, golden shower, golden panda, flame tree and ofcourse the ever reliable poinciana. They loud. They easy to grow in sub to tropical climate and they last for a good month at least.

My Magnolia Jane lives in my zone 4 almost zone 3 garden in western Wi. A few years ago we had a winter that had 59 days with below zero temps. She survived but didn't flower that spring. We were just glad she survived.

[MisBunnypics]

Mine are almost the same as yours: Redbud, Dogwood, Magnolia, Crab apple, Pink Smoke tree. Also some shrubs pruned into tree form standards: Hydrangea Paniculata and Rose of Sharon

I’m from Georgia and love crepe myrtle trees. They are beautiful. Love the redbuds.

[solidale]

My daughter was just given a Eastern red bud seedling from her school. We are going to have it placed in the backyard after it grows some roots in the indoor pot.

[emmalavenham]

Stewartia pseudocamellia tops our list due to its 4 season nature and that it provides food for wildlife. But if we lived in the Pacific NW, the Tibetan paperbark cherry tree (Prunus serrula) would be a very close second due to its striking bark.

[cherise]

Purple Leaf Plum! I just planted one a couple weeks ago and cannot wait for the leaves and especially the flowers 🙂

[joanneholcombe]

Ok jim i agree with each of ur picks but i also would add serviceberry autumn brilliance...luv it for its multi trunks...

[angiestelzer]

I’m with you, Jim. Love the redbud tree. We had a lovely one in our yard in Missouri, which came with our 6 acre property (we did not plant it - Mother Nature must have helped it along). It was lovely. Now we live in the San Antonio area and I want to plant 2 Forest Pansy Redbuds in our back yard. I love that deep purple foliage! On my “To Buy” list.
