Hi,
Is there a wind, snow and ice tolerant flowering tree out there? I want to use it on the side of my driveway. Any suggestions? I'm in zone 5b. Full sun but can be windy.

Are you in New Brunswick? or Nova Scotia?

Have you thought about magnolia?
some I have heard can go to zone 4

There are purple and yellow flowering varieties and of course the creamy white - cup shaped, lily shaped, star and fringed...
Some with dark brown centers
Some very very fragrant

Not sure about the wind issue - but I have two that have been frozen solid --thick coat of ice on leaves, etc. without problems.
