    i have three of these trees in the yard of my rental house and i really want to find some to purchase for my residence but have absolutely no idea what they are! Can somebody tell me? I have searched for images on the internet that look like this tree but cannot find any exact.

    It flowers in the spring every year with pretty white flowers about the size of three to four inches in diameter and NOT in clumps. It sheds it's leaves in the fall and the limbs are all intertwined almost woven and still have a full canapoly WITHOUT leaves in the winter time which is quite impressive (sorry i do not have winter or early spring photos).

    Suckers like to grow on the trunk and i keep them strimmed closely. I also trim the canopy to the actual knot part of the trunk but it will actually grow straight down to the ground if you let it every single year.

    Thank you for any help that you can provide. please email me at ike7101@hotmailDOTcom with a subject line of "Trees" so that my email filter will not move it to Junk folders. Thank you

    Lyn

    Looks like they've been given a rather severe haircut!
