Flowering Trees

Believe me when I tell you that a Snowball Tree is a fast growing flowering tree (plant, shrub, whatever)...immensely fast growing. We planted one to hide part of a unsightly fence and it worked.

It started out as a little guy and before we knew it it grew into a huge bush. The blossoms are beautiful.

Ours is about fifteen feet tall. We keep trimming the lower branches to give it the tree-like-look.

I have changed up the photography here and introduced five different modes through Photoshop Elements and Lightroom. Don't want you to get bored of seeing five images of Snowball blooms.

Snowball Trees

We are fortunate to have a large Snowball Tree in our backyard.  Unfortunately, the blossoms come in the springtime and go away super fast, so you have to enjoy them while you can.

Snowball Trees (Viburnum Opulus) are relatives of Honeysuckle which I didn't know until I did a little research. They don't look a thing like Honeysuckle. 

When all the blossoms mature they make for absolute gorgeous viewing.  The only negative is when the flowers are done blooming and fall to the ground...it looks like it has been snowing.
