Charles:
Here's some quick thoughts on trees that throw out
copious bloom that I'm pretty sure would grow under
your conditions (just up the road from me):
Acacia retinodes
Acacia saligna
[there's an Acacia 'Exeter Hybrid' that I've seen a
picture of and it's probably the most spectacular
blooming acacia I've ever seen; English thingy
and probably not available as seed but worth the
search]
Calodendrum capense (there's one in downtown SLO
that looks decent despite it's abuse)
Cercis siliquastrum
Lagerstroemia hybrids (make sure to get one of these
mildew-resistant cultivars)
Magnolia x soulangeana (many cultivars)
Prunus campanulata
Prunus persica (flowering peach and nectarine my
favorites: 'Helen Borchers' and 'Alma Stultz')
Prunus serrulata (especialy 'Kwanzan' and 'Shogetsu')
Prunus x yedoensis (especially 'Akebono')
Have fun,
Joe Seals
