Having a tree in your garden is something elegant, sophisticated… But what about a tree with white flowers? Undoubtedly, during its flowering season, it will attract a lot of attention. And the truth is that there are enough varieties to have not one, but several.
Here we have prepared a list of white flowering trees that you will love, and even surely decide what your next purchase for the garden is. Shall we start?
yoshino cherry
This tree with white flowers is one of the varieties of cherry trees that can be planted in the garden. Most striking are those white flowers that you will see from March to April. Of course, it must be planted in a semi-shaded areabecause it does not tolerate too much sun (especially in the southern half of Spain).
As for the height, it can easily reach 12 meters as long as it has enough space to grow. If you have it in a pot, it will not exceed two meters.
Cornus “Eddies White Wonder”
Let’s go with another variety of tree with white flowers that is characterized by not growing too much, which makes it suitable for gardens that are not too large. The most beautiful thing about this tree are the white flowersalthough in reality what the flower really is is not these white petals, but are bracts, and only the center is what we can call a flower.
It occurs like other plants which you will know more about.
When it blooms, it does so in abundancein such a way that it combines the light green of its leaves with the white of the others and creates a very pure effect, especially in already large specimens.
Of course, we are talking about a tree that takes a long time to grow and is also deciduous. It is very resistant to both cold and heat.
Robinia pseudoacacia
Also known as false acacia, this is another white flowering tree you could consider for your garden, although you should keep in mind that it is capable of growing up to 30 meters.
With a cauda leaf, this tree can last more than 200 years, and the most characteristic are the white flowers. But they are not the typical ones, since they will come out in the form of a bunch and, in addition, with a very pleasant aroma. You won’t get them until spring, although the show is worth it.
jupiter tree
Maybe by this name you don’t know what we are referring to. But if instead we talk about Indian lilac, mousse or crepe, things can change. In fact, we are talking about Lagerstroemia indica, a tree that is not too tall (it can reach eight meters in height) but of medium growth. It is very resistant to high temperatures, as well as low temperatures and even frost.
And when it blooms? It will do this in spring and summer. Its white flowers are composed of six bell-shaped petals with curly edges. After them, the fruit will appear, which will be a black capsule in which it will contain the seeds of new trees.
sweet tea tree
We continue to give you trees with white flowers and in this case we are talking about this one, about eight meters high, and with white flowers but, unlike the others, it will have a yellow center. That’s why if you want it to be pure white, you have to choose another varietybut if not, it grows quickly and you can even choose two options: leave it as it is or prune it and turn it into a bush.
magnolia grandiflora
Yes, it is magnolia, not magnolia, although he is better known by that name than by his own. It is a tree from which magnolia flowers grow. These are quite large, some even a foot in diameter. And yes, they are white and they also give off an intoxicating aroma.
The only problem you’re going to have with this white flowering tree is that the flowers won’t last more than a few days. It is worth it, of course, because seeing them bloom is an experience, but the fact that it soon loses its flowers may not compensate you for the investment in its maintenance. Now its leaves are perennial and you can combine it with other varieties so that they combine the intense green leaves with other shades.
It can reach about thirty meters in heightbut again we are talking about a very slow growing tree, and for this reason it is more common to have it in a pot, and almost as a shrub, than as a tree.
cow leg
No, we didn’t get confused with the name, that’s what Bauhinia candicans is commonly called, a tree native to the banks near the Uruguay River.
It is characterized above all by the leaves, which are quite large. (they can measure more than ten centimeters) and also because of its flowering (very abundant in spring and summer).
It is not excessively tall, which is why it is often used in gardens.

Acacia longifolia is a type of tree that is a little out of the ordinary of those seen so far. It is a tree (although it is also called a shrub) capable of reaching ten meters in height.
It grows quite quickly and what strikes the most is its leaf, perennial and greenish gray in color; as well as its flowers, always at the end of winter, of a creamy white with a very perceptible perfume. They are very small flowers but they almost stick out of the branches, sometimes rivaling the narrow, smooth leaves it has. In fact, they will look like stuffed animals.
Tamarisk
Finally, we want to talk about the Taray, also known as Tamarix gallica, a tree with a caudal leaf, but with abundant flowering that completely covers the tree with a white layer produced by the flowers it produces. Actually, You will have the impression of seeing a tree with hanging flowers which will give it a magical appearance.
That is why for a garden you can create a stunning look.
As you can see, finding a tree with white flowers is easy. Deciding on just one may not be. AND our recommendation is to place several, if possible with flowering at different times of the year, because in this way you will always have it in bloom and you will profit from it. Do you recommend more?
