Flowering Trees in Florida

Mid Florida Tree Service • Apr 03, 2020

Florida is blessed with a myriad of magnificent and attractive flowering trees


Florida’s temperate, subtropical climate is ideal for a variety of trees to grow and thrive in. You see many types of beautiful flowering trees in the Tampa Bay area and the state in general. They are an essential part of the landscapes, making colorful and fragrant flowers during their blooming season.

Below are just a few of the gorgeous flowering trees that grow well in the mid Florida region.

The Trumpet Tree
One of the most common flowering trees in Central Florida is the tabebuia or the trumpet tree. There are several color varieties including yellow, golden, purple, pink and silver. They all thrive in full sun and have a high tolerance to drought like conditions. They can grow anywhere from 12 to 20 feet in height depending on type.

The Magnolia Tree
Nothing depicts the south like the Magnolia when it comes to trees. Magnolias are a common flowering tree and have different varieties, with the Southern Magnolia being Florida native and therefore the most common type within the state. This tree grows to heights of 30 to 60 feet high and has large, exceptionally fragrant white flowers that typically are in full bloom in the latter spring and summer.

The Loblolly Tree
A loblolly tree is a type of evergreen that is native to Florida. It is widely used in landscaping. The loblolly can grow from 1 to 30 feet and yields small delicate white flowers during the summer. It is closely related to Camellias.

The Jacaranda Tree
Considered one of the most beautiful flowering trees, the Jacaranda has feathery foliage with a large amount of deciduous purple flowers that peak during spring.. The Jacaranda is a fairly large tree that is best suited for a medium sized yard.

The Orchid Tree
This tree is most commonly used in Florida landscapes. They grow from 30 to 35 feet, have slim trunks and arching branches covered in deciduous, two-lobed, large leaves. They are at their peak during the fall when they are covered with many showy fragrant blossoms that can be up to 5 inches wide. The flowers are a wonder to behold in the fall months with their bright and vibrant pink, lavender and purple petals blending together to resemble an orchid. This unique and magnificent flower makes the orchid tree a favorite in landscapes.

There are many other varieties of trees that are widely seen in the Tampa Bay area. One of which is the Bottlebrush with their red, pink, white or purple bottlebrush shaped flowers blooming during the warmest months of the year. Being drought tolerant, the Bottlebrush is a good choice for Florida.

Florida’s rainy season, typically from May to October, brings a unique set of challenges for tree care. Prolonged periods of heavy rain can cause soil to become waterlogged, depriving roots of oxygen, which can lead to root rot or even the death of the tree.
