American Smoke Tree (Cotinus obovatus)

@tilda_i_tradgarden

For unusual summer pink blooms, you can pick American smoke trees. In fact the fluffy clouds of tiny, candy floss like flowers in a lemonade pink shade come with great profusion when days are hot, and they cover the whole crown, literally like coating romantic puffs.

But this US native is also loved for its amazing foliage: large and round bded, the leaves keep changing color all through the year, taking on hues of green, copper, blue, orange and finally red in fall!

The twisted and gnarled branches will still provide a striking silhouette when winter comes and it sheds it colorful mantle.

American smoke tree is a very kaleidoscopic variety, but also a very strong one: virtually disease free and with great tolerance for pollution, it will not just provide lots of colors on top of pink, but also dense shade and it will improve air quality in urban gardens.

‘Perth Pink’ will give you a bright and light splash of this amazing color, in its pure to fuchsia shade all year round with its very unusual flowers!

Yes, all year round, including winter! Bottlebrush tree will blossom non stop and the blooms look exactly like what its name suggests: cylindrical and fluffy, just like bottle brushes.

Generous with its floral display, with heads that gently not weight down the arching branchlets, it also has very fine, long and narrow, green to bluish evergreen foliage for a fully elegant, classy and very exotic display!

The only drawback is that you need to live in a warm region to grow any bottlebrush variety, including ‘Perth Pink’.

7: ‘Brandywine’ Crabapple (Malus ‘Brandywine’)

@afroally

Crabapple is an excellent flowering tree and some have pink blooms, like ‘Coralburst’, ‘Adams’ and the pale ‘Camelot’, but we picked ‘Brandywine’ because…

Because, to start with its color is so bright, saturated and vibrant, pure pink with darker blushes on the outside that it’s hard to match.

Next, it is a semi double variety and the flower heads form lovely cups that literally fill the branches. They are also fragrant and they look like little roses!

Elegant and well behaved, this tree also has lovely pointy leaves that appear in spring with a brick red color, before turning dark green. But the color display is not finished… The foliage then takes on red blushes by summertime and in fall, they turn to purple hues!

Ideal for a cottage garden, ‘Brandywine’ crabapple is also very adaptable to most informal garden designs, and it can bring you a romantic and rosy breath of the countryside to your urban garden, because it tolerates pollution very well!

8: Pink Silk Tree (Albizia julibrissin f. rosea)

@georgemboda

Pink silk tree is an another elegant pink flowering tree for you summer days. If the name suggests sophistication, there is a reason…

The fragrant, fuchsia pink puffs of round filaments that make up the blossom come on top of the arching branches, and they will attract lots of pollinators. With a white flash at the base, they will spark up your garden.

The refined, finely textured foliage will instead hang from under them, with frond like, bright green bipinnate leaves that will give you great shade and amazing decorative value till the end of fall.

However, the long flat seed pods will stay on during winter as well, each reaching about 7 inches long (17 cm).

Exotic and very elegant, showy and at the same time very sophisticated, pink silk tree is a perfect all year round pink beauty for exotic, Mediterranean and coastal gardens. And it is a winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society.

9: Judas Tree (Cercis siliquastrum)

@burcununcicekdunyasi

Hot pink, pea like flowers fill the branches of Judas tree in spring, coming in such profusion that the whole crown seems to be dressed in this bright and energetic color! Foliage may come with this floral display, or later, as it pleases…

But the decorative value of the rounded and heart shaped leaves start off as bronze, and then they deep green in the summer, only to take on yellow and bright green shades in fall.

The seed pods that follow the blossom are green and red purple, and they hang from the spreading branches of the round, imposing crown of this Mediterranean native all through summer, fall, and even winter.

And… Yes, you can even eat the pink flowers of Judas tree in salads! This very broad, sculptural tree will definitely need an important place in your garden, even if it is not massive, but it’s best suited for specimen planting.

  • Light exposure: full Sun or partial shade.
  • Flowering season:mid and late spring.
  • Size:15 to 25 feet tall and in spread (4.5 to 7.5 meters).

10: ‘Cherokee Sunset’ Flowering Dogwood (Cornusflorida ‘Cherokee Sunset’)

@jardindumur

The flowers of ‘Cherokee Sunset’ flowering dogwood are actually small and green, but they are framed by 4 large, pointed, slightly twisting bracts, with a bright magenta pink color that fades to white towards the center.

This showy floral display will start in spring, and it will be followed by shiny, round red fruits that will attract birds well into the fall!

The foliage usually comes with or just after the floral show, and the leaves are spectacular as well. And here we also find our color again…

When they open, they have pink margins, and this shade stays on while irregular patches of dark mustard yellow develop on the bright green, pointed and veined leaves. The effect is similar to that of a snake or crocodile skin in the dense crown.

A small tree or a shrub, according to how you train it, ‘Cherokee Sunset’ can be a great resource for pink and colorful hedges, or take its worthy place in wooded, naturalized areas. But fee, free to grow it in any informal garden style if you wish.

  • Hardiness: USDA zones 5 to 9.
  • Light exposure: full Sun or partial shade.
  • Flowering season: spring.

  • Soil and water requirements: fertile, well drained, evenly humid loam, clay or sand based soil with pH from mildly acidic to neutral. It is heavy clay tolerant.

11: Orchid Tree (Bauhinia variegata)

@heatherlivlafluv

Exotic as the name orchid, orchid tree is a tropical variety closely related to humble peas, but you wouldn’t tell from its super showy, large blossoms.

Reaching about 4 inches across (10 cm), they come in late winter in great profusion on the softly arching branches with five slightly curling petals and upward arching pistils in the gap at the bottom.

And you will see shades of shocking and pale pink, as well as a central magenta splash and some hints of white along the edges and the veins!

They resemble large butterflies… Spectacular though the blossom is, foliage Is no less attractive, large and bright green, with a little dent in the middle, they hang from the branches till winter, or through it in warm countries. This semi evergreen will also produce long and flat edible and drooping pods.

Orchid tree is one of the most exotic looking trees with pink blooms; for this reason, and because it is not cold hardy, it should take an important place in a Mediterranean, Xeric or in any case exotic looking garden.

  • Hardiness:USDA zones 9 to 11.
  • Light exposure:full Sun or partial shade.
  • Flowering season:winter and spring.
  • Size:20 to 35 feet tall and in spread (6.0 to 7.5 meters).

…And we can close with a very special cultivar of the most iconic pink blooming tree in the world: the flowering cherry known as ‘Accolade’, worthy winner of the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society!

It will give you the full effect of Japanese cherry blossoms, but with a very special touch… The flowers are larger than in other varieties, about 1. 5 inches across (4.0 cm), and they really form dense clusters on the yet naked branches.

What is mor, they have a particularly delicate, bright and pale shade of shell pink! Once all the petals have fallen to the ground in mystic flights, the dark green, glossy and ovate leaves appear on the branches, and they will keep this refreshing color till they turn red in the fall. And in winter, the elegant dark red trunk and branches still provide interest to any garden.

The only drawback of ‘Accolade’ flowering cherry is that you won’t taste the actual fruits; but as a decorative flowering tree, it is really spectacular and a real star in the world of pink blooms – for any informal garden!

  • Hardiness: USDA zones 4 to 9.
  • Light exposure: full Sun.
  • Flowering season: early and mid spring.

The TV presenter took a picture of a blossoming pink tree and asked subscribers a question – what is it?

Yana took a picture of a rose tree in Novorossiysk and asked users what it was called

TV presenter Yana Churikova has been in the Krasnodar Territory for several days. She came here to relax and work. The day before, as a co-chair of the Russian Movement of Schoolchildren, Yana visited a school in Novorossiysk. The guys from the hero city liked her because of the social video in which they talked about good deeds.

– It was a very simple task – to make a video on the topic “Let’s do good!”. Students from 32 regions sent their work. I promised that I would go to those who would shoot the best video, and it turned out to be the guys from the 22nd school of Novorossiysk. Vadim Gritsenko and his team: Arina Kostyuchenko, Angelina Shcherbachenya, Katya Mironova. They took Iskander’s chic quote and made an understandable video based on it. And it turned out the best! Because the best solutions are simple ones, – Churikova wrote on her Instagram page.

If everyone does good within their limits, the possibilities for good will become limitless. These words of the writer Fazil Iskander led me to #novorossiysk Photo: yana_chu

In addition to working events, the TV personality enjoys the warm southern weather and walks around the hero city, posting photos on social networks every now and then. But near one of the posts of Churikova, a stormy controversy unfolded. Yana photographed a rose tree in Novorossiysk and asked users what it was called.

– I “trick” everyone for grammatical errors, while leaving you the full right to educate me in things obvious to someone from the field of natural sciences. For example, what is this tree that blooms so beautifully? Terribly interesting, – the TV personality wrote on her page.

What kind of tree is this that blooms so beautifully? Photo: yana_chu

A lot of assumptions and options began to appear in the comments: for example, mangolia, almonds, cersis, apricots, wild cherries. But later, Yana found out the name herself, and added her comment to the photo.

– Those who wrote cersis, or purple, are absolutely right. But more questions have emerged. I also found about the Judas Tree. All my life I thought that Judas, having betrayed Christ, hanged himself on an aspen. Then came the elderberry. But it was Cersis that was called the Judas tree. That this tree is as beautiful as sin, but just as dangerous. What interesting? Churikova asked again.

COMMENTS OF SCIENTISTS

KP-Kuban correspondents showed the photo taken by Yana to dendrologists. And they dotted all the i’s.

The tree blooming with pink flowers, which was photographed by a TV presenter in Novorossiysk, is correctly called the Canadian cersis.

– You can, of course, call this tree common purple, but this is not at all the same. Canadian Cersis would be more correct. There is, for example, a European Cersis, and it is he who is called the Judas Tree, but he is lower, and this one is tall. The uniqueness of Cersis is that it blooms before the leaves bloom, and the buds are located even on the branches. Also, its distinguishing feature is the roots – they go very deep, – dendrologist Galina Soltani explained to Komsomolskaya Pravda – Kuban.

The scientist also added that the tree is completely harmless. And European Cersis was called dangerous, and then only, based on the legend. Allegedly, in ancient times, the inflorescences of the plant were snow-white in color and exuded a bewitching aroma. Weddings were played near it and holidays were celebrated. This continued until Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus Christ, chose cersis to commit suicide. Then the tree, saddened and disgraced by the touch of Judas, changed the color of the flowers from snow-white to pink. And people called the plant “Judas” and began to bypass it, calling it dangerous.
