[Pstuffel]

No guesses?
First one is specific to the Edwards Plateau in Texas and found in another form all throughout the southeast coastal areas.
Second one fruits.
Lets see your buds!

This is a valid guess.

 

[Quercoid]

How about mulberry for the second one?

I guess this is the opposite of 'trees at a distance'.

 

[robinia]

Crabapple?

 

[Pstuffel]

Quercus Fusiformis, Escarpment Live Oak
And Fig, Funny enough it is an "LSU Gold".

 

[robinia]

Figures. An Oak I don't know and a tree we can only grow indoors up here!

How about another?

 

[Pstuffel]

No. But close in several obscure ways...

 

[Pstuffel]

No clue. This is the first spring I have really started paying closer attention to whats going on. Really interested in what others have in different parts of the country.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Enkianthus?

 

[roxy]

Hammelis (sp?) - witch hazel?

[robinia]

No hits.

Pstuffel- sorry this one won't be seen in TX. Eastern US and into Canada.

Not Ericaceae
Not Hamamelidaceae

Hamamelis autumnalis flower in the Fall, but all other kinds flower in late winter (Feb/Mar).
