What Tree Bloom First In Georgia's Spring?
Pollen is out and about, a sure sign of spring in Georgia. You might be wondering what trees you’re seeing blooming in the area. We have put together a list of the top first trees to bloom in Georgia, also some that would make a beautiful addition to your landscape!
Flowering Dogwood
A North American native, this common tree can be found as ornamental specimens all around the area and is easily identified by its showy white or pink flowers! This tree maxes out between 20-40 feet tall but can still provide a bit of shade and color to your landscape!
Eastern Redbud
You cant miss a redbud by its bright purple-pink blossoms and its thin papery leaves. These are very commonly planted as ornamental species but are native to the area so will also be found throughout wooded areas in Georgia.
Flowering Cherry Blossom
Cherry trees have an unforgettable curvy, bonsai nature to their trunks and branches that makes them stand out from the rest. Their leaves will either be light pink (Kwanzan Cherry) or white(Yoshino Cherry). March and April are the months of blossom for all species of cherry trees.
Crabapple Trees
Another pink and white showy flower combination! The crab apple makes a beautiful, fragrant show in early spring. Its leaves are red when they come out in spring and stand out against the scaly bark.
