I am very fortunate that I live where I can walk to work (from my house to my office door in under 15 minutes!). But this time of year I am even more thankful because in my older neighbourhood, almost every yard has at least one spring flowering tree and shrub and the walk right now is glorious!! I think everyone should have at least one of these old-fashioned spring-flowering specimens.
- Nanking cherry (shrub)
- Lilac (shrub or tree)
- Crabapple (tree)
- Mayday tree
- Flowering plum (shrub, non-fruit)
The only thing I have is a french (white) and vilossa (mauve) lilac, but if I had just a wee bit more space...
