I would soooo like to bust Stephan's chops right here but... I'll refrain so people won't THINK I'm mean spirited.

 

[BostonBull]

Cornus of some sort?

 

[tomthetreeman]

nay, bull.

 

[TNTree_man]

For some reason I feel compelled to say Cercis canadensis.
doesn't seem right though. Not exactly a ton of clues in the picture.

 

[trees4ever]

What about Oxydendron arboreum (Sourwood) that somehow had its central leader chopped off long ago?

[tomthetreeman]

Hallelujah! Can I get an AMEN? C. canadensis it IS!

-Tom

 

[trees4ever]

Amen!!

I can already tell that we are going to have to throw down terror dome style when you come down here next month.

This is gonna sound so cliched, but when I saw that picture of the Cercis, I knew it was a freakin' Cercis, but I was too busy selling a nearly quarter of a million dollar undercut of a competitor of mine to see it in time.

Dang it.

Of course non sequitir had to drop in right on queue.

Just kidding.

[TNTree_man]

Sweeeeet. Are they pollarding that tree or something? Maybe it was the pic, but there didn't look to be any transition from old wood to new. Give me a minute and I've got a tough one.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Actually, it's just a really old specimen. Full crown above, about 18' in height.

-Tom

 

[TNTree_man]

Ok here you go. These are excellent small trees IMO. I'm not sure how familiar anyone might be with this.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Looks like a peach tree. Don't know the latin.

-Tom

 

[TNTree_man]

Not Peach.
It is in the Genus Prunus however.
These are definately ornamentals, although they will produce an edible fruit.

 

[BostonBull]

Prunus subhirtella???

thorns?

 

[trees4ever]

Prunus fruitcosa - European Dwarf cherry?
On the west coast we have Prunus besseyi - Western Sand Cherry.
Very hardy with small tart fruits

-Diane-

 

[TNTree_man]

No Mam. Not Cherry either, sorry.

 

[trees4ever]

Oh, or is it the Chokecherry - P. virginiana ?

-Diane-

 

[TNTree_man]

Nope. Tom was actually pretty close with the peach.
