Identify Flowering Tree

Darrell Mcleod · 21st May 2011, 09:34 AM

Friend of mine and I have little contests - whilst out and about we send each other pictures of trees and plants that either we do not know the name of or think the other may not be able to identify as a test

Yeah I know - yawn

He is a very knowledgable horticulturist and of course I know nuffing

He was in Hawthorn Melbourne and sent me this photo of this flowering tree he took on his silly little iphone and of course did not have the brains to get a close up

Anyway we both do not know what this is - does anyone?

Beanie Boy when you read this can you unlike your attitude at the gym last Friday .......

hahahaha it's funny you mention it, I do the same thing with my friends all over the world. There is no better way to learn than to try and ID a plant you've never even seen anything similar to before... and while you're at it...

NEEEEEEEERRRRRRRDDDDDDDSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell you what seems very close

The original image from above is the first

Must get some close ups

RE discrepancies in fruit hue; when the fruits are young they are that greenish colour, they go dry and 'pinkish' as they age.

It's funny how involved you can become if you're interested in your job. I take thousands of photos of trees and plants while cruising around. In fact, my whole life is easily summed up by these little guys:

They are planted all down my street, and I think I must've pulled up at least 50 billion seedlings. The cockys love 'em too, that's for sure. I'll have to get a snap of the one that's been 'topiarised' by the old Italian bloke. Hilarious!

Better get a move on, Tigers are playin' tonight. COME ON YOU TIGERS!!!!!
