Anyone recognize this tree?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

One of my trees at the new house is blossoming out. I don't know what kind it is. My thought was dog wood, cherry, or apple blossom. I know it's not a redbud because I have another one that is one of those.

Bees like it - please excuse the bee bum in the shot!

Anyone know what it is? (this pic makes a great desktop pic by the way, feel free to use it if you want)

We have a tree that looks a lot like that when it blooms. Ours is a flowering crab apple tree. They sure are beautiful when they bloom. Ours attracts a lot of bees also.

a dogwood maybe? We used to have 3 of them in our front yard when I was growing up

[catnapper]

Definately not dogwood. Looks like the cherry tree we have outside my house

[caseysmom]

flowering plum????

[Killearn Kitties]

I think it's a cherry tree. It is absolutely beautiful, bee bum or not!

[Karen]

Definitely not a dogwood, maybe cherry or crabapple. It'll be interesting to see what fruit it bears in a few months!

I think it's a flowering cherry from looking at the smooth bark. It may or may not have fruit.

It's a flowering crab. We've got a few in our back yard too, but they aren't anywhere near ready to bloom yet! You will get tiny little crab apples that keep the Robins happy all winter long.

I have a few pics of ours for comparison, but they must be on my home computer. If I remember tonight, I'll post them for you.

They are beautiful, but don't last long so enjoy!

Yes don't dogwood have white bark?

My grandma had one and it was absolutely gorgeous! Though I can't remember what it was called

Hm, it looks more like a cherry tree to me - the crabapple trees seem to be more whiteish in the center, atleast from what I've seen?? Also, it seems Crabapple trees have more foliage - MOFF's doesn't look like it has much? Here's a few pics to show what I'm talking about.


Cherry Tree (notice the same color in center as MOFF's)

See what I mean? It really could be either one.. they look so much alike!

To me, it looks like a cherry tree - also judging from the branches, but then, I don't know what a crap tree looks like.

Hope it bears fruit - enough to feed Mario.

I wonder if you posted what the entire tree looks like, if that wouldn't help... but, here are a couple links to maybe compare some of the other aspects of the tree that maybe you would know...

Looks like a crabapple tree, We have one in our back yard. They are so pretty when they bloom too bad it doesn't last long. Very nice pictures!
