What kind of trees are those blooming?

The pretty pink ones?

 

bradford pears?

 

No not quite yet.They're white. Stick to politics. Cherry,Crabapple,red buds.

 

Japanese tulips are blooming



as well as the cherry blossoms.

 

I'd like to know what they are as well...I don't think they are cherry trees. They are a purplish pink color and there are a bunch of them in Clayton right by where Hwy 42 merges with Hwy 70 (near the State Employees Credit Union and Building Blocks Daycare).

 

Aren't they also called pink magnolias or am I thinking of another tree?

 

tulip magnolias I believe

 

Japanese tulip trees....


I didn't realize the photo didn't come up on my last post.

 

Tulip or also saucer magnolias and Japanese often mistaken for each other.

 

I know that one. There's one in my moms neighbors yard. (I stole flowers off of it one time lol) These trees have much smaller blossoms.

 

yep, thats the cherry blossoms, I posted a pic of them too. they are tiny and beautiful. there are many in my neighborhood that are in bloom. they are so pretty.

Yeah, cherry blossoms... Is it too late to plant trees? Aren't you supposed to do it during the winter months?

 

I think you can plant them now....I know they have them at Lowe's, for sale right now....so I think it's ok.

 

Redbud trees also have pretty pink blooms this time of year.

 

YES! and they are gorgeous too! love them. they have such a natural, pretty shape.

 

That is SO PRETTY!

 

Tulip trees amaze me every year. Where I grew up trees just didn't grow flowers on them. They are beautiful!

 

For years I thought we had this great huge Tulip tree, I love it. But a friend of ours who works for the Dept. of Forestry told us it is a saucer magnolia. I still love it, It always flowers before it gets leaves on it, then it flowers a few more times in the summer and fall. It just makes a mess all over my hosta flower bed when the petals fall.

 

:lol:

 

They also could be Yoshino cherry trees,they usually bloom before the Kwanzan cherry.
