• River Birch (Betula nigra): The river birch is a beautiful tree with peeling bark that reveals shades of pink, orange, and brown. It is a low-maintenance tree that can tolerate wet soil, making it a great choice for areas with poor drainage.
• Kousa Dogwood (Cornus kousa): The Kousa dogwood is a small, ornamental tree that produces beautiful white or pink flowers in late spring. It is also known for its striking, multi-colored bark that peels away in patches to reveal shades of gray, brown, and orange.
American Hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana): This small, slow-growing tree is perfect for small front yards, with its delicate leaves that turn brilliant shades of red and orange in the fall. It also has an interesting bark texture that adds visual interest year-round.
• Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis): Another spring-blooming favorite, the Eastern Redbud is known for its clusters of pink or purple flowers that appear on bare branches in early spring, followed by heart-shaped leaves that turn yellow in the fall.
Remember to choose a tree that is appropriate for your climate, soil type, and sun exposure, and to consider the tree’s mature size and maintenance requirements when making your selection.
