[quote:SwampWitch:MV8xODE3MTY3XzMwMjQ3NjI2X0RFQzE5ODY1] [quote:psyoptics:MV8xODE3MTY3XzMwMjQ3NTIwXzM1RTQ4MzA5] [quote:SwampWitch:MV8xODE3MTY3XzUwQ0RFMDgw] Need some help here, y'all ~ Approx 7 yrs ago I planted a sprig (no more than 8" tall and barely more than the width of a pencil lead) in a 10" pot. It grew, and a couple years later I re-planted it into the back yard when we built our house. Today, it is what you see here. About 5 yrs old. The loblolly pines behind it are approx 6 yrs old, 15-18+ feet tall. The tree has bloomed for about 3 yrs now, pale red/deep pink buds approx 5mm, they bloom into white "cherry blossom" looking flowers, early in Spring then blossoms fall from the tree (still in full bloom - they don't shrivel) very quickly - almost all at once! - within about 2 weeks of 1st bloom- every year so far. There are 'fruit-looking' very small berry-sized ovoids approx 4-6 mm on the tree even after the blooms fall away, last year & this year (2011 & 2012) (2nd & 3rd yrs of blossom blooms) I've heard "Japanese Cherry" (its not) "ornamental Pear" (its not) but damn...what izzit?! All input is appreciated - hope someone can set me straight on this. Thank You for your effort :heart: Here are some pics: :mystrytree: :bloomz: :wuddizzit: [/quote] it's pretty did it come in on the cosmic waves? sorry i could not resist. [/quote] :lol: Meh...cosmic waves, whatever! It IS purdy tho, ain't it?! Stumped as to what it is besides purdy, tho ~ guess I'll jest let it grow on til I figger it out. Smells like a perfect DREAM. Is what it is...:love: [/quote]
