The best part is that they grow rather quickly and is low maintenance.
The only downside is that they’re high-maintenance.
These trees add extra color in with the light flowers that bloom in the summer.

Drought-tolerant, these trees are easy to maintain and grow.
With their abundance of full branches (and tall height) comes an excellent shade spot underneath the foliage.
We love the white flowers that blossom between May and July.

Just don’t forget to prune these trees in the late spring once leaves have started to fall.
