We’re visiting with Tingshu Hu from Massachusetts again today. We’ve visited their beautiful garden in the spring when the flowering trees are stealing the show, and today they’re sharing their garden in the summer, with photos they took in June:
Flowering Trees in Tingshu’s Garden

I am Tingshu Hu from Dunstable, Massachusetts (Zone 5b). I would like to share some pictures of my flowering trees in my front yard.
We came across this ‘Pink Cascade’ weeping peach (Prunus persica‘Pink Cascade’, Zones 5–9) in a garden center. It had one flower and two buds. The flower was very attractive, so we took it home. We didn’t expect it to grow into such a gorgeous tree. It blooms for more than two weeks, from late April to mid May.
In this view of the front yard from between the flowering branches of the peach tree, you can see our Havanese dog, Luke, waiting at the garden gate.
In the side yard, the Forsythia(Zones 5–8), flowering quince (Chaenomeles,Zones 4–8), and ‘Jane’ magnolia (Magnolia‘Jane’, Zones 4–8) are in full bloom.
Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis,Zones 4–9) is another gorgeous tree with a long flowering period. It blooms from early May for about two weeks.
Looking toward the side yard from below the branches of the redbud, you can see the pink/red crabapple (Malussp., Zones 3–8) that is an offspring of a ‘Prairie Fire’ crabapple in the backyard. It bears some similarity with its mother but is not the same. The white one in the middle is ‘Sugar Tyme’ crabapple (Zones 4–8), and the pink one is ‘Louisa’ weeping crabapple (Zones 4–8).
