With true dwarf varieties along with majestic specimens, there's a flowering tree made for every situation. Here are a few of our favorites at Estabrook's:

Magnolias

When you talk about flowering trees, you have to start with Magnolias. Their spectacular white, pink or even yellow blossoms will start off your season with a bang!

Amelanchier

Our native Shadblow Serviceberry (Amelanchier) is also one to remember when it comes to spring blooms. The added bonus of berries will attract more birds later in the season.

Flowering Pears and Cherries

With masses of white and pink blooms, these delicate flowering trees are next to bloom and create a spring snow storm as the blossoms start to fall.

Crabapples

Perhaps the most popular flowering tree here in Maine is the crabapple. These stunning beauties feature vibrant blooms along with small to rather large fruit that will attract plenty of wildlife the nature enthusiast can enjoy all fall.

Dogwoods

One of the longest blooming trees is the flowering dogwood. This beauty will start to bloom in June and show its color for about a month. The white and sometimes pink blossoms look like a star on top of each branch and are truly stunning.
