Hello, Can any of you ID this tree? It is currently in bloom. It is not a fruit tree ans as far as I can tell, the flowers have no scent. I have three views: Hopefully some of you taxonomists will be able to help me with this one. Thanks.
Oh Sjoerd, That is a beautiful tree. I want some of them in my little piece of the world. Is this one yours. You didn't actually say...
I originally thought that it was a Hawthorn Tree,but after considering the leaves, I believe that you are right, TONI. Thanks a mil. WARE--The tree is not mine--the council planted them. It lines one side of the street in which I live.
I have seen them line the streets in the past and they are beautiful when in bloom.....I would like one....
Bradford pears (Pyrus calleryana) bloom before the leaves come out, and the flowers smell like pee. I don't think it's that. It could be from Pyrus genus, or from Malus (crabapple & others.) When the fruits form later, it should be easier to ID.
Thanks Purple. I do not actually ever remember seeing any fruits on those trees though. I shall look closer this year. The pollen from those trees make my nose itch.
Looks like my Bradford pear. It's true they bloom before the leaves but if it's not too windy the leafs come right after.
