Sourwood, a southern tree, should grow here pretty well and flowers in late summer, and shows beautiful fall color. Golden-rain tree (non-native) blooms yellow in mid summer, and papery seed pods hang on through the winter for added enjoyment. To me, the bark of the River birch provides the most interest in a winter landscape, more than any other tree. Washington Hawthorne blooms in late spring, early summer.
