We select flowering trees to create a unique landscape design
One ad says that you just have to eat a Bounty bar to be happy. Of course, it brings pleasure, but planting flowering trees in the country, you get much more joy. Modern designers are trying to recreate a semblance of the Garden of Eden on the backyard. For this they use different kinds of plants. 
Blooming trees are a magnificent highlight of the garden
Setting up a green space on a backyard can be difficult. Therefore, designers are advised to choose plants that will harmoniously combine with each other.
In addition, a number of nuances should be taken into account.:
- the size of the trees;
- flowering period;
- color of petals of buds.
It turns out that nowadays it is quite easy to pick up beautifully flowering trees that bloom in early spring or summer. In addition, buds of various tones and sizes appear on the branches. However, it should be remembered that the main element of the garden landscape is perennial and annual flowers... Therefore, ornamental trees must fill in the “pauses” that occur between their budding periods throughout the season. When arranging a garden, you need to remember the main goal. Some people prefer fruit crops, others prefer lush aesthetics and aroma. A detailed acquaintance with the cultures available in your area will help you make your choice.
A careful study of the external features and conditions of plant maintenance is the basis for creating a wonderful garden.
Almonds bloom in early spring
The Mediterranean is considered the birthplace of culture. It is currently grown in the American continent, Europe, China and the Caucasus. The plant belongs to the genus "Plum" and the family "Pink". An adult crop grows up to 6 m in height, and the rhizome penetrates deep enough into the soil. Thanks to this, it easily tolerates drought.
Cron almonds form generative (short) and vegetative (long) branches. Petiolate leaf plates with pointed edges bloom on them. In early spring (March-April), the buds begin to bloom, consisting of five graceful petals. Their diameter reaches about 2.5 cm. A bright tree with pink flowers looks great against the background of a "sleeping" garden. It gives it a certain solemnity and "reminds" of the coming of spring.
