flowering trees

Petal-bearing plants

Flowering trees are trees that produce conspicuous blossoms, often cultivated for ornamental display.

The term typically refers to species valued for showy seasonal blooms—cherry, magnolia, dogwood, crabapple—rather than trees that technically flower but inconspicuously.

The flowering trees along the avenue were spectacular in April.
