Catalpa trees have beautiful flowers and big heart shaped leaves. They also attract catalpa worms that eat the leaves. The worms or catapillar are great fish bait!

Redbud trees are another favorite. They stay small and have lovely purple flowers in spring. Great yard tree.

Another fav flowering tree is the weeping elm. They flower in early spring . They have Lime green bracts of flowers up and down each branch , before the leaves form.

Albizia julibrissin, the Persian silk tree. In some growing zones mimosa trees are invasive. In my zone they are not. I have 2 in my garden and no new seedlings popping up over many years.
