Native Small Trees: Trees that Benefit Wildlife
Native trees with showy flowers bring both beauty and ecological value to the landscape. Species like eastern redbud, flowering dogwood, and serviceberry burst with blooms that attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and early-emerging insects in spring. These blossoms often lead to fruits that feed birds and wildlife later in the year, extending their benefit beyond the flowering season. By planting native flowering trees, you not only add seasonal color and interest but also support the vital pollinator and bird populations that keep ecosystems thriving.
