Gorgeous blooms on a large & healthy Indian bean tree aka cigartree or Southern catalpa.

It prefers moist soil with full sun. It's easily raised from seeds which germinate early in the first season. It multiplies readily from cuttings. This tree is fairly free from fungal diseases & has few insect enemies. Which is why many landscapers love to add it.
The wood of these trees are brittle/hard, but doesn't rot easily; it's used for fence posts & railroad ties.

How To Identify Black #AshTrees: A Beginner's Guide.

May 29, 2023

Difficulty - Advanced

Ash trees are a popular choice for landscaping and are commonly found in parks, streets, and in backyards. But not all ash trees are the same. If you are trying to identify a black ash tree, you need to know what sets it apart from other species of ash trees.

These trees are Black Poplars, possibly hybrids. Notice how they all have a large lower branch facing southwest. I’ve heard this might be a distinctive feature of native Black Poplars, not hybrids.

Can this single feature be enough to identify them as native?

Very rare to see these cultivated on the island. This was a delightful sight. It's quite large, with many #PurpleCones all over it.

#PiceaPurpurea aka #PurpleConeSpruce. It's a #spruce #tree native to #China. It's been cultivated here & is a beautiful tree for #landscaping.

Any ideas? I think it might be an ash.

Location is in zone 6b in western US.

Calling all you clever folk out there for some identification help.

We think this is a Wych Elm, or a hazel - but either way, we have never seen this coloration on either species before.

Thoughts?

I don't know what our front #flowering #tree is - can someone help me with this #TreeIdentification ? Multiple hummingbirds have nested for years in this tree - it's their fave tree to nest in. It's been on property for ages - I'm guessing it's at least 80-90 yrs old. Very healthy. Reminds me of crabapples but produces no fruits - only flowers.
