Hey, I am in love with this tree: http://www.alienspouse.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/03/27/image.jpg I just don't know it's name... In the spring all the leaves fall off and it has red blossoms... (i hope these are the right terms) Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.. Snufkin
Hey Ron, First of all thank you, but i dont think it is. I looked at photos of the plant you suggested and it seems that it's branches come out close to the ground wheras the tree i am looking for - it's branches come out higher and also it has thick branches. It looks pretty strong. I'm guessing my tree is around 30 ft. high Thank you very much though, Snufkin
I have a couple of thoughts, but can't say for sure without a picture that shows the flowers better. Can you get a close-up of the flowers?
What I was suggesting was to use the Japanese apricot cultivar to get the same look. Otherwise picture appears as though a touched-up image of an Acer rubrum in flower. In reality its inflorescences would not be as dense and intensely colored.
Hello, This looks very much like a photo I took at the end of the year - November of a large Viburnum trilobum with their bright clusters of red jewel-like berries. Its common name in the eastern US is American Cranberry Bush and can get about 10-13' and 6-9' wide. Best, PP
