Japanese Tree Lilac
For fragrant flowers and a long bloom season, plant the Japanese Tree Lilac.
Deciduous trees with white flowers bloom profusely in spring, leaf out in summer and denude themselves each fall turning the garden into an ever-changing vingnette.
Some of these spring bloomers offer a little something extra to the fall garden:
Flowering Crabapple Trees decorate themselves with red or orange golf-ball sized fruit while the leaves of Crape Myrtle and Black Locust trees turn blazing shades of gold, red, orange and purple.
The Dogwood offers red berries, mottled bark, and colorful autumn foliage in addition to its white spring flowers.
The Aristocrat Pear is an ideal replacement for the formerly popular Bradford variety which fell out of favor because of its structural weakness.

Angel Trumpet Tree
Angel Trumpet trees may be planted outdoors in temperate areas.
When grown in this fashion, the tops of the plants will die each year, but they will usually spring back from the roots.
Angel’s Trumpet can be grown in large pots or, where it is warm year round, in the open ground. The foot long flowers appear at regular intervals throughout the summer months and are lemon-scented at night.
The trumpet-shaped blooms may be single or double in form.
