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
Definately not dogwood. Looks like the cherry tree we have outside my house
flowering plum????
I think it's a cherry tree. It is absolutely beautiful, bee bum or not! :D
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! :D
Yes don't dogwood have white bark?Quote:

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. :D
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...

Thanks Debbie! :D :D :D I did think it was a strange name for a tree - in the future, I'll never get that wrong again!! :rolleyes: ;)
I think it's a cherry.
Cherries just picked from the tree while enjoying the evening breeze...delicious!!! :)
Could be Prunus cerasifera nigra, a kind of plum.
CRAP tree? OH, Randi, you have got me crying over here! LOLOL....CRAP tree, crab tree, what a difference one small letter can make.
To me? I think it is a pine tree! :D
Hey that picture makes for great desktop wallpaper!! :D
