What kind of tree do I have?

marlar · 5th April 2009, 11:36 AM

Please Help!!
What kind of tree is this? Have had this little tree for about 5 years, this is the first year it has had flowers on it. Grew it from a little twig that came from the Arbor Day Foundation. Just don't know what it is. Thinking Washington Hawthorne.

I'm wondering, the way you experts rattle off the names of trees do you know them in your head or do you have to look them up like the rest of us?

If you know 100 peoples names you can know 100 tree names.

I've met some nice trees in time...

...and some you'd chew your own arm off to get away from in the morning!

Look again...

not a Washington Hawthorn...leaves are entirely different and the flowers in the picture are 3-4 times larger and not clustered. No thorns evident on the branches and the growth habit is not erect like a Washington hawthorn.

The correct id is Snowdrift crabapple.

I'm out on this one as we dont get any of those around here.

But Snowdrift crabapple does look right.

I have that tree that started growing on my terasse ( I live in NYC in front of a park full of trees) And would like to know what kind of tree it is. Any idea ? It looks to me like a maple but can not find it in any tree book.

Thank you !
