What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

I've got a tree blooming in my front yard and can't figure out what kind it is. See pic below. I think it's some kind of cherry tree since it puts forth a fruit in the summertime that resembles a cherry...

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

There are like "false" cherry trees, you might best take a clipping to a nursery.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

I think it may be some kind of dogwood tree. It's sure pretty.

Tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

You might ask T2W.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

My thought that was a type of dogwood, but I am far from being an expert in various flora and fauna (fauna being esier to tell apart than flora).

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

flowering crabapple

I believe that's what it is.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

I want one in my yard.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

I agree with the Flowering Crabapple after looking at google images.

The branching structure splits near the base and spreads out like a dogwood.

I wish I could grow a Dogwood here, but they don't do well in these parts as the soil is black clay with limestone beneath. They do much better in sandy/more acidic soils, from East Texas and points east...

Thanks for y'alls help...

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Such a mess you are! :heeheehee

My kind of tree is any of these: Pecan, Oak (Red, Southern Red, White, Willow), Sweetgum, Red Maple, Hickory, Tulip Tree (aka Yellow or Tulip Poplar).

Notice any similarities?

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

I was just going to say that, and checked to see if anyone thought of it first. Alas, you did. :(. Lol

Wow--so freaky you gotta suspect photoshop there!

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Lol. Yes.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Immodest!

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?

That sort of looks like a mimosa tree?
ah just noticed it looks like a dancer too LOL

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Always wondered where mimosas came from. Think I'll get me a margarita tree! :D

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

I was going to suggest crabapple. we have one and the flowers look like that.

ours produces a fruit that looks applish but about the size of a blueberry and not really edible.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Same here. Funny thing is the fruit is still on (some) from last year, while the new blooms are coming out now.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Can't have a crabapple tree, too expensive. :(

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Really? Ask Dagwood to bring you a plant from his! :nod
Usually new growth sprouts up underneath the trees.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

You might find one here for cheaper: http://www.firstmondaycanton.com/

Ya never know! They have EVERYTHING there... :)

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Yeah, they might. But, no way I would go to first Monday. Good grief.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

That's that big flea market isn't it? I was there once or twice. It's very huge!

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Yes, it covers the whole city. It's ridiculous.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

crabapple trees are expensive? wow, I didn't know that. We think they're pretty much useless around here and tend to pull them out whenever we see them. There are a couple growing down by the railroad tracks near here. Too bad there wasn't a way to send 'em to you, Cindy. Or even a start from one. I don't know how the nurseries do that - send live plants in the mail. Do you??

by the way, I would swear that the picture is of a Dogwood Tree. My neighbor has one we've been babying for years around here. Sooo pretty. Actually, she had two. One white. One pink. But sadly, my neighbor has died. And I don't know who will be living in their house now :( Hope they are as good as my friends who died tho.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

I am not sure how they do it either, Margie. We have ordered some from catalogs and got them in the mail. They are usually in a little plastic bag, and you keep them in the refrigerator until you plant them.

Hope you get a great neighbor.

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Oh, come on! Just go hang out in Dog Alley. Haha! That was our hang out for most of the day, then went across the street, on the north side of 64, to the pavillions over there and bought some Texas-style end tables.

Anyway, Dog Alley is where I saw some small landscape plots. None of them had a crabapple tree, but I did see some azaleas. Of course, I was drooling when I saw them. Surprisingly, azaleas do quite well in this black clay, as long as they aren't set in flood-prone bedding...

Margie, the similarities are definitely there with a Dogwood and Crabapple. If I saw a Dogwood here in the Dallas/North Texas area, I'd almost guarantee it was planted with plenty of Ironite around and below the roots. The might grow much better as close as a Sulphur Springs-Terrell-Corsicana line and points east. The more sandy/acidic the soil, the better they'll do...

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

This has already been resolved...

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Crabapple is my guess :)

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

:toofunny

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Your guess is as good as the others...'cause your're right! It is a Crabapple... :heeheehee

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Perhaps someone could help me with this one.

What type of tree is it?

I have no idea but I would like to know because they are growing like weeds all over our backyard!

Re: What Kind of Tree Is This?
 

Everytime I see the title of this thread I am reminded of that song, WHAT KIND OF CHURCH IS THIS? IT'S AN APOSTOLIC CHURCH! WHAT KIND OF CHURCH IS THIS? IT'S AN APOSTOLIC CHURCH? WHAT KIND OF CHURCH IS THIS? IT'S AN APOSTOLIC CHURCH!

IT'S A HAND CLAPPIN, IT'S AN ISLE RUNNIN, IT'S A PEW JUMPIN, IT'S A DEVIL STOMPIN, IT'S A PENTCOSTAL APOSTOLIC CHURCH!


(I really dislike this song as much as the I'M A PENTECOSTAL song)
