This tree is about 15' tall, Its blooms in early spring, bears no fruit or berries and smells heavenly almost like honeysuckle. The butterflies, bees and bag worms love it as you can see from the picture. When we first moved in it looked like a bush the branches were kind of bare so I pruned them. It looks so pretty as a tree anyway. http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=35956&stc=1&d=1206894700 bagworms.jpg http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=35957&stc=1&d=1206895595 Picture 002.jpg http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=35958&stc=1&d=1206895595 Picture 005.jpg http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=35959&stc=1&d=1206895880 Picture 006.jpg http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=35960&stc=1&d=1206896068 Picture 007.jpg http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=35961&stc=1&d=1206896068 Picture 008.jpg http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=35962&stc=1&d=1206896142 Picture 009.jpg http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=35963&stc=1&d=1206898371 Picture 011.jpg Thanks........Alma
Looks very like Prunus padus--common name Bird cherry. Prunus padus cultivar Watereri has racemes of flowers up to 8 inches long.
Leaf shape not quite right for P. padus, and the racemes a bit long - I'd say more likely Prunus serotina (Black Cherry), which is native in GA. The two are closely related; I've seen the suggestion that 'Watereri' is a hybrid between them (don't know if this has ever been tested).
Well it seems to be a Black Cherry but I've lived here for 2 years and have never seen berries on it only the little stems where the flowers were. I have to walk by it every day, the chicken coop is right beside it. Could it be that it's to young to bear fruit? Either way I love it!!! Thank you all so much for your help
