Dogwood trees are native to Arkansas. They are also a favorite among gardeners. With their iconic four-petal blooms, these trees are easy to spot, especially in Spring. They come in traditional white, pink and red(ish) blooms. Dogwoods do best in full shade to part sun.[gallery type="square" size="large" ids="|"]
Redbuds are native throughout North America. Their bright purple buds are often the first signs of Spring. Redbuds bloom in purple, pink and even red. These can take more sun than dogwood, but still prefer shade to part sun.[gallery type="square" size="large" ids="|"]
There are lots of types of cherry trees. Our favorites are Yoshino Cherries - which bloom white with a pinkish tint and produce a billowing cloud of blooms. We also love the Mount Fuji varieties (Pink and White) for their full blooms. Cherries can take full - part sun and are easier to establish than dogwoods or redbuds.[gallery type="square" size="large" ids="https://westwoodgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/double-imaptiens-pink-bg.jpg|Double Impatiens Pink,https://westwoodgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/double-imaptiens-pink-white-bg.jpg|Double Impatiens Pink White,https://westwoodgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/double-imaptiens-rose-bg.jpg|Double Impatiens Rose"]

Peaches produce some of the most interesting blooms in the Spring. We have a newer variegated type that have bi-colored blooms, how cool?!
